Thanks Asturias!
This one is not yet on the list. Its country is on the list https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....8ff001fd9.jpeg |
Looks like Van Gogh here has been very busy on that SAS Convair (I think it's a 440) but where are we? Definitely not Arles.
|
Perhaps we are at Norrkoping Sweden ?
|
I know that Billund had a viewing area right in front of the terminal where there was just a little fence separating the public from the apron. Them were the days. Is it said airport?
|
Billund is on the list
Arles and Norkoping not yet, (thanks for the tip) As I have still both my ears and do not pursue a painting career I have cleared most of my doodling: https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b6b5ed129.jpeg |
Bornholm then - or is that A Pickled Red Herring ?

Nyrogede Bornholmere are fresh smoked herring. Hollandse Nieuwe are new Dutch pickled herring. How smoked or pickled herrings can be new or fresh, I don’t know. Looking forward to your next photo quest |
Thanks Bear. Lovely nostalgic Photograph. Many moons ago I once flew in something similar from Copenhagen to Esbjerg. I don't want to hog the Forum and if old Vincent hadn't suddenly left that clue on his easel I would have been none the wiser. Time to give somebody else a chance - so it's Open House and I'll take a back seat for a few weeks......

Once upon a time, there was a airfield in this neighbourhood..

Assuming north is at the top the trees top right indicate very long shadows for mid morning - even in a northern winter
Are we in Europe? |
No, it's a long way from Europe.
Here's the same neighbourhood, several decades earlier. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....ef72dccb26.jpg |
not much traffic on the big avenue........... no big sports fields & shortage of swimming pools suggests it's not USA - Japan perhaps?
|
|
Ah well - there goes the scientific approach
It might be Hamilton Field N of San Francisco but doesn't look quite right............. |
No, not Hamilton Field.
|
|
good job it was raining this morning - I'd never realised the P-61's operated from so many places in the USA. Bit easier when I figured out it was a P-47 in #173
I think it's Kipapa on Oahu, Hawaii?? |
You got it, Asturias, over to you.
|
Here's one quite a long way from Hawaii

Just a stab in the dark, but could it be Cascais, Portugal?
|
No - but right sort of thinking - not a million miles away..............
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f0be5121b1.jpg |
Another stab in the dark... Evora?
|
No - we're not in Portugual
Its a relatively new airfield I think - limited international connections but reasonably busy https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....38893e3818.jpg |
Turkish Airlines A330 TC-JOG “Troy” if that helps?
|
Turkish Airlines A330-300 destination.
|
If TC-JOG were a freighter I was going to have a go at Vitoria-Gasteiz. But it isn't, so I'll have another even wilder stab in the dark at Nouakchott?
|
Vitoria is closer than Nouakchott.......................
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....f36a3675ab.jpg |
Here's a pic taken a few years back.............

Putting two and two together and possibly getting 5….
Turkish route map and Sri Lankan FMA Pucara leads me to Colombo Ratmalana? |
Well it isn't Sri Lankan but it IS a Pucara (to my amazement - never did find out why it was there)
My answer above "Vitoria is closer than Nouakchott......................." applies in spades I'm afraid to Columbo. I'm not sure this is a regular Turkish destination - possibly a one-off |
Uruguayan Pucaras have visited Brazil Natal airforce base.
(2010) Are we in Brazil? |
No - Brazil is even further away The Pucara picture isn't recent
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....7cf3d49458.jpg |
IF the clue "Vitoria is closer than Nouakchott......................." then it's about 3050 kms from one to the other. Halfway is about 1500kms
therefore the challenge is within a circle of radius 1500 kms centred on Vitoria https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....6ef61da81d.jpg |
Are we in Spain?
|
Yes - this is the Kingdom of Spain
|
Hmmm, Kingdom of Spain… entonces Melilla?
|

Yes, I had a bit of trouble reconciling the A330 with that runway. Only other possibility I could think of was one of the newer Spanish airports like Castillo part developed, but the tarmac looks more weathered than that.
|
It's definitely Melilla - I though the "kingdom of Spain " was about as far as I could go and still say on the right side of the truth.......... Sifty Dog has the controls
They've operated some quite large aircraft in there occasionally. Iberia have used A330-200's on some flights from Madrid in the past (maybe even as late as last year) - obviously NOT at max weight. Strange place......... https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....bd1eef89ee.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....8b33a2b484.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....6ff5233d70.jpg |

Not a water aerodrome, but adjacent to a land aerodrome both then and now. |
