No.No.No.

Not hints, but I went because invited by an Asian woman whose husband had become an ambassador. Always wanted to ride in a car with flag on fender. It was where my dinner companion was William Shawcross and I asked him if he were a reporter. Turned out he was not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shawcross Who knew.

Another excellent but incorrect response.

This country was pivotal to the events of 1990 in the mid-east. (Does NOT seem that long ago!)

No action for 12 hours. O/H OK. This has changed a bit since I was last there. Recent photo.

Ex-Ascot will not tell me where this is ~X(

In answer to various questions; I have not been there but he has (over 20 years ago), it is not in America or Canada and it is not Split. It is an airport terminal somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere. Over to you folks as I have given up. :D

She is not very happy when I don't tell. As always I have made sure that there is a photo of this on the Internet.

Sorry early night. No but used to go there (Aldergrove) about twice a month. Never used charts or anything. Knew the frequencies of all the beacons and ATC. It was just like driving to work.

Not Europe.

How on earth did you come up with that 4M? I had to look it up. It is indeed.

Just worked round the clues in that photo ;))) FWIW... No, I have never been anywhere near Jafna.

Here's one which should be dead easy for our US colleagues. No more clues.

Slight misunderstanding there 4M. I meant that it is near Jafna, not Jafna. My bad wording. Anyway never mind it is Colombo International Airport, Bandaranaike. Your challenge stands.

Yours Washington DC?

Edit, no maybe Baltimore.

No problems sah!

Not Baltimore or Washington DC. This place could almost be the US equivalent of Coton in the Elms - but not quite!!.

Seeing it's FRIDAY and reciprocating EX-A's generosity in the previous challenge, I'll give you that, as Bear Country is only a lick and a spit from the location of the photo which is Rapid City, South Dakota.
