Well, technically chalk is limestone but I see your point! ;)

Air raid shelter - think it was bombed several times. Area known for it's lethal products for many years

Lets zoom out a bit...

With rapier-like precision, he zeros in on Toledo. Perhaps?

Right area but the airstrip is not Toledo

I've found the location of your picture, but no sign of an aerodrome. The town at the bottom is Corall de Almaguer, 40 nm east of Toledo.

Post #1114 above "Quite active at one time - in service for about 9-10 years before being returned to the land owners"

but I can't comment on the location for a while........................... ;)

"Corall de Almaguer," Correct -

One of a large number of airfields built in the Civil War and now disappeared

I was put onto it by an old friend in Madrid who is a member of GEFREMA - GRUPO DE STUDIOS DEL FRENTE DE MADRID https://www.gefrema.com who are devoted to such things

Prof. Roberto Feliz Garcia has done a bucket load of work on military operations and his website

https://vestigiosguerraciviltoledo.*...ealmaguer.html

has a full lookup list of aerodromes and other military installations around Toledo


EL CAMPO DE AVIACIÓN DE CORRAL DE ALMAGUER

has a full history of the airfield but unfortunately few contemporaneous pics

Over to India42

I see that PPRuNe still has it in for the "website that shall not be named". Here's a tiny URL: https://tinyurl.com/4yzaprzc and the picture from it:

Here is a little pacemaker to keep this thread ticking over.......

'Pacemaker' and 'ticking over?'
Looks like somewhere in Indonesia but having never been there I haven't a clue so it might just as well be Christmas Hill near Marlow.

Sorry Chevvron there are no clues in my verbose intro - as Peter Sellers recorded: "Takesnosnotice of extraneous trafficsnoise" (Followed by loud screech of brakes) certainly not Marlow and should you be tempted to try Booker it's not there either. They are not Chiltern Beeches.......

Philippines?

Sorry Chaps neither Indonesia or The Philippines

Are we in Asia?

Well I'm not and I don't think you are either.......

Peter Sellers not Sellars

Thanks Chevvron noted. This rather dull looking individual is the National Bird of the country concerned - it has something in common with our Blackbird on family matters.
