I'll give it a go. A slightly different airport view.

Oryx Airport Hotel.

Correct, although it's not actually part of the hotel, the spa, pool, gym and squash courts are open to anyone willing to pay. They'll even lend you racquetes and trainers.

A great way to spend a couple of hours away from the crowds.

Thank you.

So, an aerodrome.

Southern hemisphere and within the longitudes you have specified.

I reckon on Momote Airport in PNG.

If so as I have nothing available and it's time for bed, so OH.

Checklist has scored with Momote.

He has called OH.

At least it's an aerodrome !

Might it be in France ?

nvubu 14th May 2019 18:45

Yes it is in France - no longer an aerodrome though.

dook 14th May 2019 18:58

Expeditionary force again ?

nvubu 14th May 2019 19:46

Nope - WW2.
Built before the war, but expanded by the Luftwaffe between 1940-42.

dook 14th May 2019 21:07

From those clues it might be NE France.

nvubu 14th May 2019 21:45

Not NE France.

nvubu 15th May 2019 10:24

Fairly far away from any front line on land.

dook 15th May 2019 10:38

Wild shot - Aix-L'Enfant ?

I have found several which are described as "no record found of any Luftwaffe units stationed there" so was it actually used by the Luftwaffe ?
