I recognised the Barnes Wallace Bomb straight away but hadn't a clue where it was. Brenzett is probably the only Aeronautical Museum in Kent I haven't visited at some time. :)

Looks awfully like the Brenzett Aeronautical Museum on Ivychurch Road?

Over to you CAT.   Bouncing bomb on display in the photo.  The Land Army Museum was also there but not sure if it still is.

For me no ideas yet, is it some kind of museum, I'm looking at the plaque in front of the barrel.


Yes - it is a museum.  It's not a barrel  :)

Thanks Lutonman,  As I said, your final clue about deer put me in the right area.  Knole Park and it's famous herd of deer.  Without that clue, I was struggling.


Next one - shouldn't be too difficult.

Well Done John Walker indeed it was a clue, Martin R yes to point to Knowle Park and to identify the main road as the A21 and the main town as Sevenoaks and hopefully focus in the Right area.

What's the "deer" connection?  I've been searching Knole Park to no avail, is it just the proximity?

At last! ;) I thought you had a spelling problem Lutonman ;D  but then realised it might be a clue - thank you.

West of Maidstone?  I've been searching that area without luck so far so wondering if I'm on the wrong track.

Too far south but now need to go further west in a small village about 3miles from a main town
