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?

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 .

Well spotted, John.


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

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


How about St Catherine’s Kingsdown?

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

Bit strange this one .
Internet attributes the Painting as being Raynham Hall ,Norfolk.
Looking further it is obviously mis-labelled.

The house in my pic, which is from the early nineteenth century, suffered a catastrophic fire in the early twentieth century and was largely reconstructed from the ruins, but on a smaller scale using the colonnade and pediment of the earlier façade.

Not Chevening Pete and kind of central east(ish) Kent. Not too far from a 'failed' medieval market town.

Many thanks shoot999.


I was unaware of the Hamilton link, so thanks for that.


Next one is clearly a good sized country house, still standing, but were?
