I suspect its a VERY CUNNING CLUE - Jenkins will not take offence I'm sure if I say he sometimes has a mind like a cork-screw..............

Is in modern Greece?

I go to Greece on holiday every year, as J. Has realised. Found thousands of Tiger Moths on Paros one year. It was their breeding season.
Mind you I go to other places on holiday as well.

Did you go to Jockistan for this one...?

oxenos 19th Dec 2019 14:55

Not Jockistan

Somewhere reasonably civilised as they paint white lines down the side of the road but those trees look a bit dangerous............. UK?

oxenos 19th Dec 2019 16:19

You think the trees are dangerous? The road signs warn that the road may be slippery, but don't mention the possibility of an aircraft skimming over the road. Not U.K.

Germany???

oxenos 19th Dec 2019 21:04

It does look as if it could be Germany or Scotland, but it is neither.

Let's go further afield. New Zealand?

Asturias56 20th Dec 2019 07:26

He said it was in Europe in post #17969 - Austria perhaps?

oxenos 20th Dec 2019 08:13

Head South

Back in Ferrari` country then...?

oxenos 20th Dec 2019 12:17

Italy it is.

Asturias56 20th Dec 2019 12:50

perhaps another picture? There are dozens of small airfields in Italy...............

oxenos 20th Dec 2019 16:05

I do not have another photo, and anything I lift from Giggle would be too easy to trace.
I will give more clues between now and Monday, when I shall be off line for a week. If no one has it by then I will give the answer and declare OH.
It is a club airfield in Tuscany

Asturias56 21st Dec 2019 01:47

Could be Viterbo but that looks too large?

oxenos 21st Dec 2019 10:13

Just a bit. This is a single grass strip 12/30, 715 M long. The road, which is seen in the photo, is 10 M above the level of the 12 threshold. Just as well they don't have double decker buses in Italy.

Asturias56 21st Dec 2019 15:32

I once watched a 747 land at Kai Tak just as a very large and tall load drove over the fly-over at the end of the runway - it looked horribly, horribly close.................

Aviosuperficie Valdera
has the right strip but not matching trees and hangar????

oxenos 21st Dec 2019 16:28

Not Valdera. It has only been open a few years.
