John, the date on the photo is 7/8/41, so not cold war, instead a very hot one.  I wondered about the acoustic stations, but the terrain is all wrong.

So, not the radar towers above Dover then.
Underground bunkers during the Cold War?

That's a bit cryptic Beachbum.  Do you mean that we should read the photo ("No3 7-8-41") or is "you might read this" a clue to the place name?  Or alternatively am I way off the mark?

That was some view you had of that event and a great memory.

Okay, have a look at this picture?

That was quick Beachbum - over to you  ;D


The view from our window.  The carnival seemed to go on forever, with numerous companies advertising on their floats ahead of the riders arriving.  The peloton came through at an incredible speed as they headed for the finish at the top of Rheims Way.  Quite an anti-climax as they were only in view for a few seconds.
