It might be
Amderma ? |
Leshukonskoye ?

I'm not saying I'm giving up...
I'm saying that I'm taking a break from googling "remote russian airfields" and getting image pages and pages of broken/ bent and burned-out aircraft. It's a little depressing. |
….and I'm doing close-up guided tours on Google Earth.
|
The tower at Mezen looks very similar.
|
Mezen..65.52N 44.13E photo shows similar building...OH if correct..
missed dook`s post... |
Reckon you've nailed it there dook. Good shot.
What made things difficult for me earlier was GE not behaving itself so I couldn't zoom in close enough to see airfield buildings. (A poor craftsman blames his tools...) Good challenge Asturias. |
Mezen it is Gentlemen -
it has a very interesting Control Tower....... OH it is................ https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....9d0a19e3c3.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....5227089c5d.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....69ac0b7934.jpg |
But I didn't call OH !
|
Apologies - you're right - it was Sycamore jumping the gun :uhoh: or Sycamore and Dook can fight to the death for who got it......................
I think Dook has control - and deserves it - there are a lot of ghastly little fields in N Russia.............. you can go mad looking at GE (see Maryland above) |
Sycamore did not jump the gun.
He posted and then realised I already had. |
Interesting article here: https://www.rbth.com/travel/328195-r...ooden-airports
on Russia's wooden airports. Asturias' beastly Mezen is featured. |
yes - really interesting - you'd have got the nice sunny blue picture earlier but I was googling (unsuccessfully) useful things about Mezen to use as clues and came across it
I knew the Google Wizards here would get it in a flash - hence the fog shrouded picture Never went - a colleague did go in the early '00's looking to see if you could use it the harbour to land large pieces of kit .... no - but he did mention the Tower to me . I was working more around Murmansk & Archangel................ |
So to whom are you giving control ?

Tinypic update.
The site says that I have no images or albums, so it looks like that's the end of it. The challenge above has been directly uploaded to this thread courtesy the PPRuNe uploading facility. |
Asters can be vague on the win. He must have "nipped out" for a jar/ dinner/ job (which he won't be happy about, etc)/ a multitude of reasons.
That looks like thoroughly inhospitable terrain. Oz ? |
Blimey - what a good tee shot !
A yes to Oz. |
Easy! The very distinctive Woodstock (south of Townsville).
OH if correct.... |
