Guess the Place

[pete.mason]

Barham?

[John Walker]

I didn't leave clues to start with as I thought someone might recognise it straight away. 


Still in existence - more or less the same as the photo.
A now disused railway line was about 150 mtrs to the right of the photo.
200 mtrs from a crematorium
800 mtrs from a hospital
East of the county.

Thanks John


It was only a guess.  I had my doubts as the cars seemed to be so close to the track but it's many years since I've been to Brands Hatch.  I wondered if it was the grass area near the start of the main straight (Clearways?) .


Next one ...

It was a one off made by someone who really knew how to work in aluminium. Very light and extremely strong. Easily lifted into place by two people, it pulled the roof into place when it was tightened rather then the other way round.


My target shooting friend who found it for us actually bought the whole vehicle when we moved up to a Defender 110. More room for dogs and children, but we missed the manoeuvrability. We went to Scotland as a family of four, stayed just north of Inverness and even took it to John OGroats.

They are very stout brackets holding that roof rack on!  I think you could land a helicopter on that roof and the brackets not bend! 

[johnfilmer]

A bit too obvious really, but yes Brands Hatch, British Touring Cars. Early 1990s.


Back too you.

[John Walker]

Brands Hatch?

[johnfilmer]

Duct elbow and transition round to rectangular now fixed - a little excess foam...
This was my wife's first Land Rover, a 90 not yet badged as Defender, with my son using the roof rack as a vantage.
But what is he watching, and therefore where?

[johnfilmer]

I drive past the access road when I cut across from Doddington to come down Highsted into Sittingbourne.


Will be back soon(ish) I am just about to fix the new cooker extract duct with expanding foam. Wish me luck...

I knew that one but liked it and  left for someone else.
 When I were a littleun Mary Taylor Jones (Nanny to Dr Mallinson) parent's lived in the Kingsdown vicarage her Dad was the Vicar ,often visited ,always remember there were Ostrich eggs on stands . The church is no longer in use .

[Diapason]

Well spotted, John.


I was expecting Granderog to get that one but forgot that Kingsdown was in your locality.

[johnfilmer]

Loads of trees between the track and a church with a spire.


How about St Catherine’s Kingsdown?

[John Walker]

Just to be sure. Is it a church?

[Diapason]

CAT, that one took a great deal of searching!




Here`s the next one which I took a few years ago, specifically for GTP. Somewhat disguised but will be quite recognisable for many members.

I don’t know about the mislabelled painting grandarog, but my pic is definitely of Olantigh (Towers) north of Wye as identified by Diapason.


Well done and over to you Diapason
