Well its not quite 24 hours but I'm on the road and comms are poor

Bear has it with Konya - quite a big place but not well known outside Turkey

Indeed never heard of Konya before.

This one has not been played before:

Is that The Mediterranean in the distance ?

Looks like it
doesn’t it?

Not many takers yet?

One of the more notable visitors:

Well that's the Pope-mobile (and they've got a banner up as well)

hardly The Beast!

I'd go for somewhere like Knock in Ireland but if that's the Med. we're probably in Italy somewhere?

It's on this list I guess.................

Torraccia in San Marino? Wikipedia tells me that the aforementioned gentleman visited in June 2011.

Exactly that is the one!
over to you Jensdad.

Thank you SLB!
This the best I can do just now...

Bit misty.... is it in Europe?

It is indeed. :)

How about Italy?

I will go for France.
Large Highway with smaller road beside indicates toll way.

Hi I42 and SLB, sorry for the delayed responses. Neither Italy nor France, and the main road isn't a toll road. A clue that might narrow things down just slightly: the smaller road, parallel to and roughly equidistant from the large highway and the runway, is Roman in origin.

Are we in Germania then?

RAF Leeming ?

RAF Leeming it is, the Roman Road being Dere Street, the old Great North Road. Taken from a British Airways Airbus en route from Newcastle to Heathrow in 2018.

All yours, OUAQUKGF Ops.

Thanks Jensdad - Wouldn't have got it without your reference to a Roman Road.........

I think this may be in the poster's own county of Norfolk.

You may or may not be right .......... Incidentally I've a special offer on for a limited period - two for the price of one......

Christmas 1944....... Perhaps the snow will have gone by tomorrow morning ?

Tibenham? OH if correct.

ex82watcher - Well Done - Tibenham it is. I added a bonus airstrip - nearby Priory Farm (First image) but either will do. Tibenham Airfield home to the gallant, ill-fated USAAF 445th BG and since 1960 The Norfolk Gliding Club.

ex82watcher has declared Open House.

somewhere different.................

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....df547628f4.jpg

Is it perhaps the old Athens Hellenikon?
`ZG

San Juan Puerto Rico?

Neither I'm afraid - but G-ARZG is closer

Agrarflug seems to operate some Bell 412s with this paint scheme?
But where?

hmm, Megara? Or not that close?
​​​​

We're not in Greece - it might be Agrarflug but only if they've changed the registration

It's quite a well known spot

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....75d1e8f17a.jpg

Close mountains
Fairly old infrastructure
(probably ex- military?)
An parking? area which looks to be built on a pier/extension?
So sea side?
Looks Southern Europe

“Well known spot”
cryptic like point or peak?
something like Gilbraltar (which it is not)

I think we need more specific clue

Lets see.............. it's helicopters only..................

Something about the mountains makes me think of the Pyrenees, the Alps or Apennines where they meet the Mediterranean. Couldn't be a naval helicopter base somewhere like La Spezia, could it?

No it's not Spezia but you are on the right lines with the Med................

https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....4416e88eb4.jpg

Monaco Heliport.

No - you don't see many of the Good and the Great here I'm afraid - and certainly NOT anyone truly rich

SO,A56,what were you doing there then...?

My Mother Theresa impression....................... :ok:

A stab in the dark - Capri.
