The singer clue keeps taking me to Singer Island and it certainly isn't there.

Are we closer to India ?

broadreach 19th Feb 2019 11:07

Not at all close to India. Different ocean.

Air base on Masirah island Oman?

SLB

broadreach 19th Feb 2019 11:15

Not Middle East, SLB, and not an air force base. In fact, this country hardly has an air force to speak of.

Somewhere in the Pacific ?

Santa Catalina

broadreach 19th Feb 2019 11:28

Not Pacific, and not Santa Catalina. There is a saintly connection though.

Lanzarote GCRR?

broadreach 19th Feb 2019 11:53

I've only been there twice but have lost count of how many times I've overflown it, always as pax, I should add.

Clutching at straws a bit but are we in the Mediterranean ?

nvubu 19th Feb 2019 12:43

What we know so far :)
  • Northern Hemisphere
  • Dry location
  • Evocative Music
  • On an island
  • Not Pacific or Indian Ocean - but is on an Ocean.
  • Not Middle East
  • Named after a singer
  • North Africa is closer than South America
  • Far from Iran, Afghanistan and India
  • Not air force base & country has little air force.

Has to be on the Atlantic Ocean.

San Pedro or Sao Vicente - Cape Verde

broadreach 19th Feb 2019 12:58

nvubu, I was beginning to despair! Indeed it is Cesaria Evora Airport on the island of Sao Vicente in Cape Verde, home of the late eponymous and evocative singer. And it is very very dry. Your divining rod!

That was an interesting search. Thought I'd list down what we knew and it guided me to the correct region - although I had originally written off the Cape Verde Islands as I thought they would be green.

Here is some accommodation at an airfield during a war.

I have more images, just thought I'd start a little differently

"….during a war".

Korean ?

nvubu 19th Feb 2019 16:30

No it isn't during the Korean war.

dook 19th Feb 2019 17:00

First world war then ?

nvubu 19th Feb 2019 17:41

Yes, WWI - thought you might say WW2 first.

I won't be cruel and give you more buildings (yet), but let you have view from the air - sorry it's a bit faded.

Are we back in France ?

nvubu 19th Feb 2019 19:02

Yes we are in France.

dook 19th Feb 2019 19:05

'ere we go again.

American expeditionary force airfield ?
