St Helena perhaps?
|
It is not St Helena.
|
At first I could not make out what I was looking at.
Lava rocks in the foreground but was that a shed or bunker with the yellow/black chevrons? I went looking around for airports on volcanic islands. Then I saw similar chevrons on La Gomera on the embankment at the end of the runways. However I think El Hierro North end of the runway is the best fit. |
Well done. It is El Hierro.

Ah! Ijmuiden Heliport?
Not one of the Netherlands Garden spots IIRC? |
Yes IJmuiden heliport
EHHE Not one of the cleanest spots in the Netherlands indeed. Just North of it the “Hoogovens” (Tata steel). As far as I know only used for pilot service and Dutch coast guard. Asturias on the stick |
|
Scotland Farm?
(I'm hoping that's a 2 stroke engine; I'd hate to fly behind a 4 stroke emitting that much oil smoke.) |
It looks like an RV-8 and there are quite a few of those about with smoke systems fitted. No idea about the airfield though.
Is it an airfield rather than a private strip? |
Sorry for the delay but I've been infringing the 24 hour rule occasionally recently I suspect.....
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....fcfc9624ff.jpg No its not Scotland Farm but its not too dissimilar It was privately owned I believe but now is in Group ownership and is open to all subject to prior permission |
Happy New Year!
the challenge field is in the midst of an extension - it also hosts a very active group of model flyers (flyers of models... not perfect pilots) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....dbe0642624.jpg |

Most polders have little forest. But Noord Oost polder has some more. I will go for Glider club Noordoostpolder address Voorsterweg Markenesse Just east of the National air and spaceflight laboratory. |
