The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk III

[Capetonian]

Looks Irish to me.

[om15]

Not Ireland, an old English town that does have aviation connections with a very old British aviation organisation.

[llondel]

I assumed it was UK because, although the URL in the window isn't readable, it looks very much like a .co.uk at the end.

[Capetonian]

It could be Hatfield or somewhere near there (DH),or Hawker Siddeley in Radlett. There were quite a few small manufacturers near the various aerodromes in Hertfordshire, but it's not a part of the country I know well.

I am pretty sure it isn't anywhere near Brooklands, which was huge aircraft factory for many years. That area I do know well.

[larsssnowpharter]

Playhouse Norwich?

[FD2]

East of England?

[om15]

Not east (or north) of England.

[Ex-Ascot]

Brooklands?

[om15]

I'm surprised that this is still here this morning, the town has a famous Minster and hosts an annual folk festival.

[Ex-Ascot]

Wimborne

[om15]

Yes, this is the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne, great place with lively shows, plays and films, favourite destination. The aviation connection is that this is the current base of Cobham, (formerly Flight Refuelling), with the factory manufacturing military equipment, aircraft operations at nearby Hurn, and before that at Tarrent Rushden.

Ex-A is centre stage.

[Ex-Ascot]

Thanks OM. At pub will get onto it when home.

Should have guessed it was your way. This is not. But you may have been there.

[om15]

Have staged though there but not stopped at this particular hotel, rather above my pay grade.

[Capetonian]

I think that's Raffles Hotel in SIN.

[Ex-Ascot]

That didn't take long. If Slasher was still with us he would have got it. He is there today. So gentlemen argue amongst yourselves who wishes to play next. OM15 and Cape in the chair.

[om15]

Cape to go.

[Capetonian]

[Ex-Ascot]

Looks Eastern Bloc to me. Not Brighton.

[Capetonian]

Both above statements are correct.
