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

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 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....9035b6d0b3.jpg |

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.
|
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

The Chaco? I'm combing the Rio Bermejo ;-)
|
Aeropuerto Fuerte Olimpo, Paraguay River?
|
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.
|
used to be lot easier when you could turn on AIRPORTS on GE........
|
Here's one for deep consideration... Regret I have only this photo but if further clues required there are pics of nearby places.

Aberporth?
|
Somewhat chillier than Aberporth.
|
And the runway is nearly two and a half times the length of Aberporth's.
|
Macrihanish?
|
Bingo, Chevv, you mulled over it correctly! Floor's all yours.
