Guess the Place

[Diapason]

Welcome back, John!


Sorry that I `jumped the gun`, but I think I`ve got it, at last.


Not Hoo  -  Swale area.

Hi all,


Sorry for the absence but I was one of the members who couldn't access the site.  I had no contact that I could think to let you all know.


Today is the first time I've been able to get back on.   It's good to be back.


Out of interest, your guess on my last one wasn't Brenchley Pete.  I'll use it again next time it's my turn.




Diapason - quick guess on your church - Hoo area ?


Cheers

No Cold Blow Lane Stockbury/Detling, was part of the Ace High Troposheric Scatter radio and early warning systems. Operated by USAF with armed guards. Apparently MOD & USAF still use the mast in the photo, https://www.subbrit.org.uk/sites/coldblow-ace-high-relay-station/

[Diapason]

Thanks, Pete.  I`m still a bit confused but assume it`s the Deal mast.


Next offering which should be easy for those with a good memory. I used it, I think, on the `old forum`.

[pete.mason]

Cold Blow it is- Ace High tropospheric scatter station, the 2 parabollic dishes long gone Thought it would have lasted days!!!

[Diapason]

My immediate reaction was Coldblow transmitter near DETLING?

It`s `donkeys years` since I was there, but it `stuck` in my failing memory.


Edit. - Just realised the significance of your clue, Pete!

Although it looks like Detling, I think that it may be near DEAL?

[pete.mason]

One to ponder,  easy if you play your cards right

Now why are all those people
Looking up that church steeple
They could be out with camera
For `guess the place `drama.

[pete.mason]

Thanks Diapason, I'll give it 24 hrs and if John hasn't posted I'll put a picture on

[Diapason]

Where are you, John?  Hope you are OK


I`m fairly certain that Pete has guessed correctly.

Not there Diapason.  Need to head more mid-Kent.  A large town is to the north.

A quick guess to start things off.
