Quiz Quwstion-Where Is This?

Jimbuna · 10-10-10, 11:24 AM

Below are a series of photos showing the remains of a piece of WWII history.

All that is now left is the ballustrade, the site being long demolished and used as a visitors' car park.

I am confident some here will know where it is but hope the answer will be of interest to many here.

Views of the ballustrade as you approach the site

The upper ballustrade...now a picnic area

Steps leading to the site that is now used as a car park

I don't want to give too many clues away and I'm sure you'll both understand why when the location is revealed.....but yes, it is 'somewhere' in the UK.

Totally random guess...

...is that where they designed the de Havilland Mosquito?

Afraid not....nothing to do with aircraft per say but it could be argued it did

Seeing all that green grass I was about to say it's Bletchley Park...but it doesn't really look like it...

nikimcbee · 10-10-10, 03:38 PM

My guess: Chateau d'Buna

Is it one of the places where the Brits trained the 'special ops' teams?
ie: Altrincham, Cheshire

TarJak · 10-10-10, 07:41 PM

I'll take a punt and say somewhere in Northumberland.

Sledgehammer427 · 10-10-10, 09:01 PM

I hate randomly guessing.

But I'm guessing it has something to do with the X-craft. The little subs.

That or it kinda reminds me of where they would train spies to drop into occupied france

It's where Nelson gave his "We will fight them on the beaches" speech before going on to destroy the Spanish Luftwaffe at the battle of Jutland?
