So perhaps the major ocean is the South Atlantic.

Nouadhibou International Airport, Nouadhibou, Mauritania.

Open House if correct.

JENKINS 21st Jan 2019 21:40

Yes, it is the South Atlantic, and yes it is Nouadhibou. I was on my way to Monrovia, but next stop was Nouakchott for the night. Very French, and in 1993 still apparently very colonial. My hotel felt as from a Graham Greene novel.

OH declared.

After all my questions last night I eventually found it only to find that I had just been beaten to it.

A late night to no avail.

Early bird etc...…

Hmmm, the American fire engine is a red herring I feel; too many European cars about. So, how about RAF Bentwaters for a start?

dook 22nd Jan 2019 10:34

No smelly red fish on you.

However, it's not Bentwaters or indeed American.

Unusual types ,PZL`s various,so,somewhere in Poland..?

dook 22nd Jan 2019 11:20

It is indeed.

Could it be the old Krakow airport, now the Muzeum Lotnictwa Polskiego? Didn't think they had flying there but seems they do.

It could well be. :ok:

Also known as the Pas Stortowy Muzeum.

Over to you D.

Davidsoffice 22nd Jan 2019 14:24

One of the few on here I've visited but still didn't recognise it! It looked greatly different in 90/91.

Open House.

dook 22nd Jan 2019 14:26

Pity about the OH.

JENKINS 22nd Jan 2019 15:05

So, here comes the cavalry to the rescue, nothing cryptic there.

Motor racing anyone?

Doesn't look like the racing circuit is used anymore either.

In fact it doesn't look like a racing circuit at all.

JENKINS 22nd Jan 2019 16:06

Quite correct, it is not a motor racing circuit.

dook 22nd Jan 2019 16:10

RAF Folkingham.

What did the reference to motor racing mean then ?

JENKINS 22nd Jan 2019 16:24

BRM was at Folkingham for two separate periods, before and after Thor. Just imagine, 16 cylinder 1-5 litre. Not a success, but apparently very fast in testing at Folkingham. Over to you, this driver lapped at an early stage.

dook 22nd Jan 2019 16:33

I had a 12 cylinder 5.3 litre. No guesses as to what that was. A gentlemen's club on wheels.

Architecture looks to be Middle East. A country bordering the Gulf? (Arabian or Persian according to choice)

kaikohe76 22nd Jan 2019 17:30

Dubai possibly, from very much earlier days?
