Where am I?

Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.

Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.

Today I’m standing on a dirt road close to a T junction. A stone’s throw from a river that’s over three thousand miles long, and roughly ten kilometres from a museum devoted to a 1980s conflict, I’m in a country that has photographs of a nuclear power plant and Italian immigrants on its Wikipedia page. The city I’m closest to has a defiant name. The province I’m in has a border incorporating two right angles, and shares a name with a Twentieth Century conflict in which around 100K people lost their lives. A trip to the closest capital city would entail a border crossing. A drive to the nearest airport terminal would take about twenty-five minutes and involve a close encounter with a jet fighter designed and manufactured in England.

You are probably in the right place if you can see…

  • A SEM 650B
  • A resting dog
  • A snapped utility pole
  • Three octagonal silos
  • A derelict minibus
  • Wasp stripes
  • Portholes
  • The word ‘PRIVADA’
  • The word ‘FENIX’
  • A powerline dendrophyte (?)
