NP, I've heard it said if you give someone a shotgun, blindfold them and ask them to fire
at the barn door in front of them, sooner or later they will hit it, LoL. Well the good news
is you hit it. It is indeed Collinstown AKA Dublin Airport, hense the clue Ryanair (Harp) IS
giving Aer Lingus (Shamrock) a "toasting" these days. This is the full diagram

From "The History of the Royal Air Force and the United States Naval Air Service in Ireland
1913 to 1923", published by the Irish Air Letter.
You will notice Corbollis House, it was the main house of the farmland that was compulsary
purchased to construct the aerodrome. It is still there (just) on the left as you approach
the main terminal building which is today located roughly where the hangars are on the
diagram.

Unable to post a pic just now, can do another day so the floor is open.

You can tell a builder from an archaeologist by the size of his trowel. Mine is a small one!

Actually, I've changed my mind - is it Leicester East?

Right as that is (I assume correct), I am going to butt in with this quicky. A nice easy one with a clue: A historic terminal building / club house erected by the local authority and demolished for a car park by a well known aviation museum whose only concern is the aircraft in its collection which in fact post-date this building - how bizzare is that?.
