Standard tower design used widely in Europe too with only a secondary radar head on it ie no primary head; I've seen that at civil airports in Cyprus and the Canaries but long sleeved sweater would indicate somewhere colder than either of these.

My Transport Command guess unlikely, since a photograph of that era would have a different hue; I have many, but none of golf. I suspect home turf from The Bear. Not Soesterberg, radar does not match. Does the golfer look like a Limburger?

Golf? I thought that the chap in the photograph was throwing the hammer!

Everything is possible, but you have to be a member or on invitation to golf here.
This is not in Limburg

I believe that there is a Golfists establishment close to Eindhoven airfield.

Golf range Welschap is quite close to the old Eindhoven airport and the old Control tower.
But that is not the airport we are looking for now.

If it was hammer throwing I certainly would have said Scottish sports!

It was the White hat that gave it away. Den Helder I think.

Open House if correct.

This airport has been featured here before, but used again to keep the thread going. I suspect it won't last long.

Somewhere in Florida?

chimbu warrior 8th Jul 2020 11:10

Half a world away, in the southern hemisphere.

Allan Lupton 8th Jul 2020 11:55

PNG perhaps?

chimbu warrior 8th Jul 2020 14:49

Yes PNG. That narrows the choices.

descol 8th Jul 2020 16:11

PNG - Daru ?

grizzled 8th Jul 2020 20:41

Vanimo perhaps?

chimbu warrior 8th Jul 2020 21:53

Neither Daru nor Vanimo.

descol 9th Jul 2020 13:15

maybe Hoskins ?

chimbu warrior 9th Jul 2020 14:52

Not Hoskins. This airfield was originally built by the Japanese.
