Don't think we've had many challenges from this sunny country

I don’t think so,
different threshold markings and apron clearly separated from threshold so unlikely that passengers walk over threshold markers.

It's a fairly quiet spot TBH

but with the usual Shopping Centre attached

Looks more like check-in but it could be both.
Caribbean somewhere?

I was told it was a shop selling local produce - clearly the local airlines have outsourced their catering to BA

Go south young man

Peruvian Upper Amazon? There seem to be lots of remains of oxbow lakes in the background. And entirely normal for the village to be built up around the airfield.

Asturias56 1st Jun 2022 07:36

No, not Peru and not the Amazon, but definitely on the right lines - lots of BIG rivers in S America! As you might expect local commerce is wholly agricultural

Aeropuerto Fuerte Olimpo, Paraguay River?

Asturias56 2nd Jun 2022 07:26

Da -da!! Well done that man! Tucked away in the NE corner of Paraguay - a VERY quiet spot indeed. I believe the new strip is quite recent - I think the old one (non-metalled) can be seen on the GE image

The hills adjacent to the airstrip were the giveaway. Once I thought I'd identified it, googled to find out more and saw many pics of the "supermarket". Will post a follow-up challenge in a minute.

Asturias56 2nd Jun 2022 09:29

used to be lot easier when you could turn on AIRPORTS on GE........

broadreach 2nd Jun 2022 09:37

Here's one for deep consideration... Regret I have only this photo but if further clues required there are pics of nearby places.

Aberporth?

broadreach 2nd Jun 2022 10:47

Somewhat chillier than Aberporth.

broadreach 2nd Jun 2022 10:58

And the runway is nearly two and a half times the length of Aberporth's.

chevvron 2nd Jun 2022 11:39

Macrihanish?

broadreach 2nd Jun 2022 11:52

Bingo, Chevv, you mulled over it correctly! Floor's all yours.
