Since I currently live in Bahrain, I was surprised to find a Soviet space shuttle located here... But it's not right? Is there a reason for the Bahrain postmark?

No Shuttle in the photo, though. There are probably many reasons why an empty mobile launch platform might be sitting outside the pad gates. One scenario is that the Shuttle just launched a few days before the photo was taken and the mobile launch platform is en-route back to the vehicle assembly building. Can we get an exact date that the photo was taken? Jel’s link is to Shuttle launch pad B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. No Shuttle in the photo, though.

Kind of a copout that the thing's entirely surrounded by the biggest land vehicle known, but there we go. Try this launchpad awaiting this shuttle on its transporter.
