What does admirer mean in English?
An admirer is a fan, supporter, or lover (one of these applies)
Ah, I was wondering how "Admirers" linked to "heat exchangers"!  Location:

With that clue, is it the extractor fans at the Samphire Hoe country park which presumably vent the Channel Tunnel?

I'm flat out of usable photos.  Odd when you know the solution but can't understand the clue!

I'm with you MartingR - I'm not sure of the clue either.  I look forward to the reveal  ;D

Bang on Beachbum.

If you search the forum's archives I think you'll find "A Ship in the Belfry" that I wrote a few years ago.  The Pittsburgh had run aground on rocks just off Libau, Latvia, and had punctured her double bottom in several places.  HMS Dauntless stood by to assist and was the relieved by USS Frederick.  The two American ships headed to Sheerness and eventually the Pittsburgh was brought up river to be dry-docked.

Over to you.

 One of the ten bells of Rochester Cathedral bell tower. The Dean and Chapter commissioned Gillett and Johnston of Croydon to recast the existing eight bells and to add two more in 1921. The recasting of this bell was funded by Captain Todd of USS Pitssburgh, thanking the dean for hospitality events during the two and a half months that Pittsburgh was in dry dock at Chatham (Chatham News 17 December 1920).

I know this and remember it from the old forum. I'll hold my peace because I don't have a photo to put up.
