A bit more digging. So is the Aerodrome that of Cascais where this yacht appears to be based?

Its overhead - must be Cristiano Ronaldo International Airport, Madeira, commonly known as Madeira Airport (Portuguese: Aeroporto da Madeira) or Funchal Airport (Aeroporto do Funchal) or Saint Catherine Airport (Aeroporto de Santa Catarina) (IATA: FNC, ICAO: LPMA),

Not everybody likes him but he is a great footbalplayer.
I can understand the Madeirians want honor him with an Aeroporto.
But he surely does not deserve such a statue:

last time we were there we were taken for an Island tour by a tiny young lady in an enormous Merc - we mentioned we'd seen a top of the line Ferrari parked in town the day before and she indicated it belonged to the Island's most famous son.
"Ah" says Senora A "He keeps it here to impress the home-town girls"
The young lady curled her lip. "Him? He bought it to impress HIS MOTHER!"

And yes its an awful statue - and its not the only one - there are several around Europe and they are all grim - I think its the hair that's the problem

Well, that's the 24hrs up and so it's congratulations to Asturias56. Over the years we've had many arial views of airports but I don't think we have previously had a view from below.

Thankyou - for several minutes I was peering into the background of the OP looking for the runway until the penny dropped
. The combination of overhead, those pillars and being sea side reminded me immediately of FNC (and its interesting landings).
Lets try this:-

Swinderby?

But that is not below the runway itself. Only lights on top of it.

The challenge isn't in the UK nor on the sub-continent
It's quite a pleasant spot but doesn't have any scheduled services

No , not the FSU. One of those places that has been occasionally important in the history of it's own country but hasn't bothered the bulk of history. Quite a reasonable sized spot but not a major tourist area either.
No important figures from here either - not even dodgy , diving footballers...............

Occasional use as a drag strip...judging by the tyre/oil tracks...?
