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.

Thank you Allan - the poetry of William McGonagall - I resisted the temptation to use him as a clue thinking that Marmalade was bad enough !
|
That's the "new" bridge in the picture - I've always thought it looked a bit dodgy as well................

Is it one of the air strips on Malta ?
|
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. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....bc718c247.jpeg Now this international/private helicopter spot: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....020429a86.jpeg |
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? |
Landing fees must be `sky-high` there....
|
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.

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: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....0526bc623e.jpg |
