Where is this?

[Pete L]

With the ridge on the left, it looks a bit like Zweibrucken

[AerBabe]

Got a piccy to post so we can compare?

[Keef]

Zweibrücken from above.

[Ian Melville]

It's not Zweibrucken, I checked it on GE, as has Keef

I still think it is Eastern Bloc, and have been through the list of DDR airfields. Though the same style appears several times, there was no match. I may have been sad chap to have time to spare in the early hours, but I am not so sad to start on the other Easter Bloc countries. The info is out there.

Can you read the runway heading on your original photo?

[Dave Phillips]

Ian, I must be more sad. I've also done Poland, Romania and a few others. The closest I can get is a few in Slovenia/Slovakia. The same image (albeit in colour) appears on a Turkish website (http://www.flytjets.com/) in the opening page banner (fourth or fifth picture).

Good luck!

[AerBabe]

Ooh, good spot, Dave!

My original photo is here.

It's a handheld indoor photo of a photo, so some of the detail has been lost. But you can see the r/w orientation is 06 and presumably 24.

[Awful Charlie]

I reckon it is Stupino in Russia

[Ian Melville]

Well spotted that man. Looks a bit run down now, but is a GA airport. Fly-in anyone

No how on earth did you find it?
And now AB where did you see the original?

[Paul_Sengupta]

Looks a similar design to some others in the Eastern Bloc.

I reckon it is Stupino in Russia

That's seriously impressive.

How did you work it out?!

[Awful Charlie]

Found with smoke and mirrors

Would the association with the location of the original photo be something to do with a specialised type of bombing?

[AerBabe]

I reckon it is Stupino in Russia

Awesome, thank you! And wow, I'm impressed...

[Rotorboater]

I reckon it is Stupino in Russia

Well done

[pb6797]

I reckon it is Stupino in Russia

Seriously impressive - and slightly scary too.
