Obviously by its simplicity it is not a large opulent church.
North downs would be a reasonable clue for now.

Thanks for the airfield info MartinR


Grandarog:  I think this one is going to need some questions  :D


A church in the Kent Downs?

Well done Grandarog - that's the place.


Sorry I could answer your question Pete.  I was out.  It was Headcorn airfield which I'm fairly certain is grass.


Over to you Grandarog ...

An airfield with a hard runway or a grass farmer's job?

Close to a large village, a railway line and an airfield.


That should help ...  :)

Not explosives/fireworks JohnFilmer - the photo is fairly current.

Explosives of some sort?
How about fireworks?
So a wild guess Astra Fireworks at Sandwich - some time ago!

Thanks JohnFilmer


I was lucky with that one.  Something made me think it was Torry Hill which is not far away.  As it was near a private railway, the only other place I could think of was Doddington.




Next one - What and where?

That’s it JW. Photo taken through a gateway off the Faversham Road, just up from Wichling church. The Old Lenham Road runs down on the right, cutting the corner off the Faversham Road, rejoining it in The Street at Doddington.


I’m writing this just out of shot on the right, about a third of the distance to Doddington Place.


North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


You’re “It” again!
