Dundee? OH if by fluke correct.

OUAQUKGF Ops 6th Jun 2021 11:55

Well Max and Jn14:6 - almost a photo-finish. Thank you Dundee Riverside it is. Asturias I really thought you were going to nail it but alas not. The answer lay in Marmalade. A few snaps to finish up with.

1966 - Operated a Feeder Service for a short period. Aerodrome was grassed at that time. Photo credit Steve Ryle with thanks.

Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv’ry Tay!
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember’d for a very long time.

Or not, as the case may be.

OUAQUKGF Ops 7th Jun 2021 11:47

Thank you Allan - the poetry of William McGonagall - I resisted the temptation to use him as a clue thinking that Marmalade was bad enough !

Asturias56 7th Jun 2021 17:45

That's the "new" bridge in the picture - I've always thought it looked a bit dodgy as well................

Asturias56 7th Jun 2021 17:52

here's one to be getting on with...

Is it one of the air strips on Malta ?

Asturias56 7th Jun 2021 21:25

No - but men doing their best in tough conditions.

Thanks Asturias!
I intended to post as an additional clue but did not notice that my first blurr of the title was apparently not saved.
The refinery was built in 1909 but the oil business really took off some years later.

Now this international/private helicopter spot:

Blue skies, possibly a rather stylish wall at the back, very carefully trimmed grass edges - maybe Europe Bear?

And a statue off to the left - is this someone with an aviation connection?

sycamore 10th Jun 2021 10:22

Landing fees must be `sky-high` there....

Self loading bear 11th Jun 2021 06:37

The stylish wall from the other side.
The statue has nothing to do with aviation.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....156939a89.jpeg

I think sycamore knows...

That's the Vatican City pad.

Exactly!
An elevated pad once you are over the wall.

You have control

Thanks Bear. Thought it looked Italian from your first picture, then recognised the architecture from the second. Walked past there a few times.
Let's try this one:
