Well, if someone would like to put this in the correct topic, I may hand over the baton.

And yes, it is Byrhtnoð at Maldon. Over to you, Spitters.

[Ray C]

I go on my holls for a week today & the cottage has no Wi Fi...!
So, go on David, do your worst.......

[Spitfire]

Well I was just lucky with Google on the last one ...

I don't have much luck with obscure stuff on here ... but I'll try this - where/what is it ??....

And to avoid the usual North/South/East/West questions ... yes it's Cornwall

[Aceyone]

Well,north or south Cornwall ?

[Spitfire]

Neither one nor the other

[Ray C]

Helstone area....?

[Spitfire]

Nope - nor the Helston area either - but I'll give you that you are on the right coast

[Aceyone]

Tolverne Cottage Roseland Peninsula ?

[Spitfire]

Tolverne Cottage Roseland Peninsula ?

Yes - spot on - and I picked it as I was doing some research around D day time and found a lot of stuff about how this was used as 'HARD 5' and a launch point for the American 29th Infantry ...

To the right of this photo is this area which was built by the Americans



And the road leading down to the cottage has this sign



By the beach is this



And the strangest thing is that in the cottage (which does an excellent cream tea) is a memorial room to SS Uganda - a now scrapped passenger cruise ship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Uganda_%281952%29 which saw service as a hospital ship in the Falklands ... when I was about 16 my sister who was then 9 at the time went on an educational cruise with her school on - SS Uganda - small world

Anyway - all yours ....

[Aceyone]

Interesting story,was a hard one to get though,this may be easier

[Frenchphenix]

It s typical munition reserve (i dont ont the good word in english), but it s straing , it s hasn t road (disimulet?)
I think is a AFB more a helicopter base (principly for apache) or SOF base, end i don t know the base in uk, i try Odiham , but your apache is in base of the ground army.

[Aceyone]

The pic doesn't show the whole of the area but you are on the right track--not Odiham

[Ray C]

It is in the UK......? Army or RAF.....?

[Aceyone]

UK but not RAF or Army,or Navy for that matter !
