Which Aerodrome Mk III
Well Bear that wasn't easy - a lot of Swedish airports have very similar towers and the sun angle made any ID on the other buildings bloody hard - I thought I had it 4 times before trying Torsby!!
The challenge looks like our office! However that's a lot of lighting for a track like that- even in it's glory days. And relatively modern at that - note the light sensors on top of each lamp - so probably post 1980...... And the lights were put in before it fell upon hard times
I'd guess we are in Europe? I have a feeling this is a now abandoned part of a Cold War airfield

The lights look North American and the festoons of overhead wiring point to the same area. Judging by the vegetation I’m going to say southeastern US.

Is the airfield still in use as an airfield?

It could be Flushing in Queens?

Thanks Teusje it looked like a real challenge - I'd settled in for a long haul through every current and old airport in NE USA , fired up Google Earth and Zoomed in on one of the more "historic "parts of NY (I actually mean to start in New Jersey) and saw the name "Flushing" - which fired off an old memory of the airport closing. Street View and then Google took me home in style.
