Ian Murphy Posted 14 September , 2009 Share Posted 14 September , 2009 Mells. Mike Mike, Well done as from my glance through this thread your 8 minutes for a correct answer is the record. Someone else will surely be up for beating it though! I am really enjoying this thread, thanks for starting it. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 14 September , 2009 Share Posted 14 September , 2009 Is that field where you lost your car keys once? Clueless! Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 14 September , 2009 Share Posted 14 September , 2009 Nice guess but no. The country is France and the area is the Somme. I mean with all those clues this should be dead simple. You see Michelle will soon come up with the location but I bet nobody will guess what I found there (well almost there, I cannot actually remember the excact location but this is near enough I think!)

Seadog Posted 14 September , 2009 Share Posted 14 September , 2009 Alright I admit that just a field is a bit (bit?) difficult to identify trouble is that you are all so damn good that anything else and you will guess immediately. Here is the view a little further up the road. For those that know it now and the suspense is killing you about what I found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/glosters/3348...57616167273771/ Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted 14 September , 2009 Share Posted 14 September , 2009 And now an easy one (easy?) for a change, if you get fed up trying to guess the answer is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/glosters/3572...57603237480463/ Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 28 January , 2010 Share Posted 28 January , 2010 This is in England. Willing to give clues if needed, but given the response to my previous contributions I doubt they will be! Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 12 February , 2010 Share Posted 12 February , 2010 No takers? 1st Clue: It is in West Yorkshire Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzmaximilian Posted 13 February , 2010 Share Posted 13 February , 2010 Let's make it even more difficult for the majority of you! This one is in Italy and yes, it is in the mountains. Franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Michelle Young Posted 14 February , 2010 Admin Share Posted 14 February , 2010 Nigel Redmires camp? Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 14 February , 2010 Share Posted 14 February , 2010 Sorry, Michelle, but no. Not Redmires Camp. 2nd clue: It was not a camp, but very closely connected with the war effort. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morgan Posted 14 February , 2010 Share Posted 14 February , 2010 It's the site of the Barnbow munitions factory near Leeds, where 27 women were killed in explosions during the war. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Marshall Posted 14 February , 2010 Share Posted 14 February , 2010 Spot on Tom, or at least it is a part of it. No. 1 Shell Filling Factory, Leeds. The site extends upwards into the ploughed field and the green border at the right hand side, but nothing seems visible from the air. The site can be seen on the ground in the programme Ian Hislop made about the 'Barnbow Lasses'. I grew up about a mile from here and brought dogs and bikes here over many years.

Nigel Marshall Posted 14 February , 2010 Share Posted 14 February , 2010 OK, Michelle, have a pop at this one. Apologies for the poor quality of the picture. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Marshall Posted 14 February , 2010 Share Posted 14 February , 2010 I have no idea about this one, and unfortunately the best guess I can come up with would be, the moon! Sorry, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzmaximilian Posted 14 February , 2010 Share Posted 14 February , 2010 This is off-topic ... Simon's one looks like a plateau in a desert. I'd search in two places: Sinai or Egypt south of El-Alamein. Franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 15 February , 2010 Share Posted 15 February , 2010 Simon's plateau, is it Afghanistan? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Jones Posted 16 February , 2010 Share Posted 16 February , 2010 Franz has it. It is the Naqb Abu Dweis box, the southernmost defensive position in the Alamein sector about 35 miles SSW of El Alamein, 30°27'1.04"N, 28°36'2.36"E. Unfortunately the area is restricted and the Bedouin are reluctant to take anyone there for fear of mines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the area is restricted and the Bedouin are reluctant to take anyone there for fear of mines. Well, I then gained my full right to point reader's attention to the picture in my post #112 in this thread. As said, it is in the Italian Alps. Experts on the use of GoogleEarth may have a hint in the fact that this place is covered in high resolution. At a very close look it is possible to spot in the picture two alignements of bomb craters. Following the alignements (as pointing arrows) brings to two different AH gun positions. One is not visible (poor resolution and a little cloud), while the second is easy to spot. Double honours to the one who can find also the battery location!

SiegeGunner Posted 16 February , 2010 Share Posted 16 February , 2010 Congrats to Franz. I was thinking along the lines of Qattara Depression or Kasserine, so I'm pleased I was at least on the right planet (unlike Nigel ) and even at the right end of the right continent.
