Caribbean?

More like Maldives with that white coral sand.

Not the Caribbean or the Maldives, but the latter is closer.

Bird Island, part of the Seychelles group

I thought I had scanned the whole Seychelles but the islands are widespread!

Bird Island it is. This seems to the terminal building.

Roundwood Farm?

Sadly not Roundwood - but we are in Britain.

The manufacturer of this aeroplane owned the subject aerodrome for a very brief period indeed before WW11..........

maybe - Barton in the Clay - Bedfordshire ?

A very good answer - you are certainly on the trail - but not there yet.......

This airfield is no longer in use. In a European country, but not in Europe.

chimbu beat me by a minutes, so I've withdrawn my challenge.

"In a European country, but not in Europe."

Now that's a very careful description :cool: - the only places that come to mind are either the countries which physically stretch outside Europe (Russia & Turkey) or those where the whole of their empire are considered part of the home country - France, Spain, maybe Denmark.......................

Is it one of the former or the latter?

The Azores / Rabo de Peixe?

It is one of the latter in this case. And not the Azores.

It was once quite a busy airfield.
​​​​​​​

Looks like a bad attack of 'Delhi Belly'........

Not the sub-continent, but warmer than continental Europe.

Spanish enclave of Ceuta?

Much further afield, and not Spanish.

​​​​​​​

we've had Ceuta - last year.........

Is it/was it part of France?

Oui Monsieur.

Thanks Chimbu,
Now this:

Sorry wrong picture (KLM never flew to this airport yet, just a wrong photo added by some newspaper to an article about this airport).
But I have more:

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....40ae7e5be.jpeg

is it in the American hemisphere?

Judging by the heat shield on the Quonset hut, I assume somewhere hot?

Yes hot
but not American hemisphere

Africa perhaps?

I've been trying to make out the blurred writing on the end of the Quonset Hut. I can make out "Commerce Bank Pte.", which should narrow it down.

Singapore use "Pte." but I very much doubt this aerodrome is in that country!

PS It could of course be "Pty." which has Australian connections.

Oddly I believe Cambodia uses Pte.

Indeed Africa

Big place francophone Africa - the last picture reminded me of a couple of places in Angola but that's not French. The design looks late 60's early 70's and remarkably small for anything constructed by ADP or by a "Father of his People" leader - which is the default setting in those parts.

Does it still look the same now?

"Airport " rather then "Aeroport" ........... very interesting

The only place I can think of where you get a French/English mixture is Cameroon - which was merger of UK & French colonies - Yaounde is an International Airport" and Kriti is an Airport as well I believe.............................
