Indeed how about Bahrein ? Bahrein it is. Constructed in 1937. Well done Chevvron

The tidal shore in that area of Bahrain consisted of limestone flats.

Bahrain's first airport was at Adliya. Imperial Airways services commenced here in 1932.


Over to you Chevvron !

Whoops Open House.
You said not Africa so I guessed as HP 42s were used on Middle East routes.

Looks like veldt.

Close to the equator when looking at the shades
Commercial Sikorsky S76

Asturias56 9th Oct 2022 08:19

Not the veldt tho I can see the similarities

Close to the equator? Hmm - closer than a lot of places but I don't think the sun ever gets overhead here

Commercial only I think

Its billed as an "International" airport but I think it only offers in country destinations

chevvron 10th Oct 2022 08:56

Looks like a microlight on final.

India Four Two 14th Oct 2022 04:50

Northern part of the Indian sub-continent - supra-tropical?

Asturias56 14th Oct 2022 08:03

I can see where you're coming from but its a VERY long way from India

Jensdad is a lot closer (but still wrong)

Gene Autry Airport aka Ardmore?

Asturias56 14th Oct 2022 12:22

Starting to make progress!

I knew it wasn't really; Ardmore Muni has a runway QDM 13/31 not 15/33, but the Gene Autry Museum is nearest to Palm Springs which is also 13/31; I was just trying to get someone else to make a bid!!

Asturias56 14th Oct 2022 14:30

Listen to the words.......................

chevvron 14th Oct 2022 15:53

Home Home on the range....?
