Sorry, fell asleep during the game!
It's a base for MP aircraft of a more modern type than expected.. Certainly not Australia - I had a few hour's flight and a couple of connections to get there. Here is one of them: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....1847014fbc.jpg |
Africa...…….

Correct continent.
So now I can show the analogue METAR delivery system and, to be fair, a wider shot of the airport. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....308742a885.jpg . https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f495698c57.jpg |
Perhaps it's Takoradi.

And the maritime connection ?

Well done Dook. Besides the offshore support the maritime connection was the DA42 MP aircraft based there. Very capable if a little cramped.
Flew in via Accra on Starbow. Here's the tower and the rotating beacon to alert airport uses of arriving aircraft - note the siting: must be interesting at night. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c8ca767e80.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a7ccce0b4c.jpg |

Corsairs in the back row and Hellcats in the front rows? Not in the Pacific fighting area as they are clearly not suspecting an air raid! country side does not match either. |
I think they are all carrier-based aircraft.
|
Parked like that, perhaps a factory airfield rather than military?
|
It's not a factory airfield, just one which sometimes handled a lot of naval aeroplanes.
Further clues available. |
Start with West Coast, USN , Livermore?
|
MCAS El Toro? |
We are not in the USA chaps.
|
Nowra Airfield Australia Also known as HMAS Albatros? |
HMS Nabbington, Bear, RN found some marvellous names.
