Might it be Risalpur ?

Possibly Nowshera or Jodhpur.

The permanence of the WW2 buildings leads me to consider Drigh Road.

A little diversion........

Whe I first saw the picture I thought it might be RAF Kallang, Singapore, but then realised the 'tower' was too high but was sure it was Far East post-war. Whilst looking at some of the Indian airfields around Calcutta I found this -

I commend it, despite the length, for the historical info and the story of the death of the only Fighter Command pilot to be awarded the VC in the BoB

Still very much operational.. also one of those Indian loan words that entered the English language is associated with this spot

Hi dook, I think that could be Weston (Republic of Ireland, not super-Mare).

I can see where you’re coming from, but that’s not Weston...

Not Oirland to be sure.

The aircraft in the middle is an SIAI-Marchetti 205 20/R. I am of no help at all. The South of Spain?

Is the tower still there or has it been replaced? - a lot of Spanish airports have had substantial upgrades

The tower still exists.

are we near the sea?? - say within 20 kms?

Not Valencia I'm afraid.

The challenge no longer exists.
