Which airport is this?

Which airport is this?

Just thought that I would put a picture of the link removed as per post no. #20 that I used to fly from. It is not hard to work out where it is.

And there is now another.... link removed as per no. #20

In the interests of the 'spotters' here, I have removed your answer to give folk more than 5 minutes to play the game.
PS You won.

Hey, zedex7rrrrrrr Did you have to give it away so quickly? Anyway, what are you doing on the Spectators Balcony? Of course it is going to be obvious to anybody that is a pilot!

Thanks for the reply.

There is an amusing aspect of human nature and powers of observation.
The link you presented has text below it asking the same question as you did.
One of the replies identifies the airport.
Two people then mis-identify the airport here.
Observation...a useful aspect of flying.

H

p.s. Keep it up Kelley. It's interesting to see people who don't spot the obvious clues

Don't thank me! It was BOAC who, justifiably, took out my answer.

I have to admit I did think it was a bit rude to bring the fun to such an abrupt end but couldn't help showing off. I guess I'll just stick to shouting out the answers on 'Millionaire'!

"It's D you muppet!!!"

Ok, so would you like me to post a harder one? One without the 'give away' file name?

Kelley - there may well be folk here who still do not know the correct answer, so can you please 'finish' the thread? (and award the prize )

There is no prize… just the prestige of knowing that you are a winner! The answer as most of you have correctly guessed is Norwich Airport in Norfolk, England. A lovely little airport where I used to fly from when I was in my teens. So do you want a harder one?

kelley - I have PM'd you, but for the benefit of the others:

The 'Village Elders' (that's PPP and I ) have sat around the camp fire and reinforced the rule that links to advertising web sites are not allowed on PPRune.

We are, however, more than happy to have kelley post airport pics to continue the thread, but have asked that the pics be 'disinfected' to remove ad links.

Accordingly I have edited the starting post to remove the links and await news from kelley.
