Anthony (Tony) Haig Thomas - a son of David Haig Thomas wrote a jolly good book about his (Tony's) RAF flying days. Not sure the title is repeatable here........

Using great circle mapper with a range from Rea point and a range from Sachs harbor on Banks Island. Then I found Isachsen but still had to correct for the difference between north eastern point of Banks Islands and south western Sachs harbour.

But I couldn’t find anything on Haigh-Thomas which resembles an air strip?

Now this:
Not so much H&N

(Church Parade;) `Fall Out R C`s and J**s.`
I did a `sort of` proof read of the original,which was going to be called,possibly,` Life and times of a 3* Flying Officer`.
The `3* `is a reference to what was/is.? the Officers Annual Confidential Report; A`star` annotation is made on the `cover` to higher Authority that `here comes `trouble`,probably in`red`,.so to get 3 may have been a record...
OTOH,with suitable `direction`,he could possibly have ended up as the `other` kind of 3 star...

St Helena I think - that rock outcrop behind the tower is pretty distinctive!

Yes pretty distinctive but you have to look at the right location first.
Over to Asturias.

It rang a bell - there was a long discussion with lots of photographs on ST Helena on here a few years back. And those of us who look art rocks know there are a limited number of places where you'll get that sort of outcrop. My first thought was the Faeroes TBH

Try this one - no trees, no lights no waste bins I'm afraid

Gee thanks, but are those thistles? Scotland? Got a photo with more weeds?

Grass looks too short to be a prairie. Too much poles/sticks planted. Therefore I guess Europe?

Its pretty dry Bear - its definitely not Europe. Don't believe there is any scheduled service

Looks a bit like Nagambie - might this be in Australia?

It is not in Australia

Flyover country in the US?

Well some people call it home but yes - it's in the USA -

Not a tourist spot.......................

Nebraska?
if not Nebraska then which way from there?

No - but getting warm - you're too far south

This place has been written about - although the airfield has a different name to the one you might recognise................

Is this the passenger terminal?

Ricks'!!!

Stretching it a bit to call it a terminal but you've found it - name it and it's all yours!
