Leylstad it is. There is a Catalina in the picture along with a 747 if you look close enough.
One thing that has always struck me as strange is that there is an ILS on the SW runway (you can see the glideslope to the left of the runway) but the touchdown markers are at the other end.

Have a look at the Google Earth image of EHLE and you'll notice what looks like an aircraft museum abeam the RW23 threshhold and there is a B747 there but it doesn't appear in the originally posted pic.

National Aviation Theme Park Aviodrome at Lelystad Airport
The museum is the Aviodrome. Some interesting exhibits.

LFT's challenge
Google Earth doesn't give a name for the old German airfield, but it's just north of the town called Wittstock.
Location is 53.12N - 12.31E
Open floor if correct.

No Sir, but the hangars (listed buildings, in use since 1916, but not always at this airport) are still in use. The tower and all other buildings, except the small ones, are gone.
