Umm...I shall have to up my game substantially.

Congrats dook!

and back over to you.

You shouldn't have given two good clues so early. Better to wait for questions before you do. ;)

Still Warsaw Pact ?

dook 5th Jan 2019 18:31

Not any more.

nvubu 5th Jan 2019 18:35

Is it a dummy airfield in a training area?

dook 5th Jan 2019 18:38

It was an active military base until abandoned for a political reason.

JENKINS 5th Jan 2019 19:44

Sperenberg?

dook 5th Jan 2019 19:52

Another strike for JENKINS.

Sperenberg as it is now.

JENKINS 5th Jan 2019 20:00

Thanks. One of the few in the old 'East' which have not been covered with solar panels. Now this spot. My travels in small aircraft have taken me far and wide. The community here https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....731f2fb871.jpg
made me very welcome one summer evening when I needed coffee and runway lights for a later departure. My passengers aroused considerable interest.

dook 5th Jan 2019 20:25

Looks like the UK but that would be most unusual for you.

France ?

JENKINS 5th Jan 2019 20:29

Not France.

dook 5th Jan 2019 20:41

It certainly looks like Europe.

This could end up as a country-by-country chase around.

JENKINS 5th Jan 2019 20:49

You must remember my propensity to answer solely the question asked, rather than answering a fleeting thought. There is a French connection, since there is a tale that Claret originated 40 minutes down the road from here. Would you like another 'Angle?'

dook 5th Jan 2019 20:56

That wouldn't do any harm.

dook 5th Jan 2019 21:03

Can't find anything about a claret tale, but might the challenge be in Spain ?

JENKINS 5th Jan 2019 21:28

Not Spain. Your surmise of England is correct. What about the 'Angles?' I am not English, but I recognise the implication. Then, of course, it is WIWOL country, and those herein will recognise this cognomen.

Sam Asama 5th Jan 2019 21:39

So... is it in Germany, perhaps near Gutersloh?

JENKINS 5th Jan 2019 21:50

No, definitely English WIWOL country, and really quite close to the former Lightning airfield.. This little field enjoys a decent relationship with its nearby military neighbour. As a visitor, I really enjoyed Lightning Gutersloh.

JENKINS 5th Jan 2019 21:55

And now it is Horlicks time. Yuck, nasty stuff. No cryptic clue there, goodnight.

lauriebe 6th Jan 2019 00:07

Elmsett, which is quite close to Wattisham. OH if correct.
