Hi Byron,

Excellent photo.Here are the basics, but I will let you do the analyzing.At a quick glance, I think it is probably Paramythia.

Paramythia(GR)(a.k.a. Paramithiá)(39 25 40 N – 20 31 00 E)
General:landing ground (Landeplatz) in NW Greece 36 km SW of Jannina (Ioäa), 4 km S of Paramythia and 2 km W of Prodromi.“The landing ground lies near the N end of a narrow valley running N/S.Mountains ruse sharply to 5000 feet within 4.86 km E and rather less sharply to 2000 ft. within 4.86 km W.The valley extends for approximately 4.86 km N of the landing ground but beyond that distance there are other steep mountain slopes.The only clear take-off is southward down the valley.”History:a pre-war landing ground established by the Greek Air Force.Surface and Dimensions:naturally drained grass covering a stony foundation soil with 2 airstrips – (1) 1190 x 275 meters (1300 x 300 yards) aligned NNW/SSE, and (2) 1005 x 275 meters (1100 x 300 yards) aligned ENE/WSW.Fuel and Ammunition:both brought in as needed.Infrastructure:no hangars, workshops or other infrastructure identified or reported in mid-1943.Dispersal:no organized dispersals.Defenses: no information found.
