The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk III

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Thanks.

Here we go then,

[Ex-Ascot]

Australia or New Zealand.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Northern hemisphere.

[Slasher]

I've seen that somewhere. Could a small thin clue be provided Cpt Wash sir? No need for a big fat one.

[Capetonian]

It looks vaguely familiar to me, I imagine somewhere UK south coast or possibly IoW or Jersey.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Jersey is closer, Cape , but it is not on an island.

Slash, we have been here before, but viewed from sea-level.

The area was briefly in the news for an ecological disaster in the early 80's.

[G-CPTN]

It has got a lifeboat house.

[om15]

There's a whiff of garlic about this, Brittany perhaps, will look down there.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Oui, mon ami.

[Opsboi]

Carteret?

[Undried Plum]

It was called Dirty Port long before Amoco Cadiz dropped anchor here!

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Not Carteret.

UP, not sure that is a direct translation, but it is the harbour of Portsall , in Ploudalmézeau which is a commune in the Finistère department of Brittany in north-western France. Portsall is known for the Amoco Cadiz oil spill. On 16 March 1978, Amoco Cadiz, a very large crude carrier (VLCC), owned by Amoco, split in two after running aground on Portsall Rocks, 5 km (3.1 mi) from the coast of Portsall, resulting in the largest oil spill of its kind in history to that date.
I have never been there, but I did receive a QSL card from there, following a radio contact on 27mHz during a sporadic-E opening in 1983. I was a few miles north of Ullapool in northwest Scotland at the time, so not a bad distance.

UP to bowl.

[Undried Plum]

Got to go and help with calving tonight, so Open House.

[llondel]

OK, I did threaten to try this one in here...

[Capetonian]

County Durham?

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Evening all.

Assuming that this is vintage vehicle road run, and given that AE03OUP is currently was in the Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service reserve fleet, I will take a punt that it may have been photographed in Cottenham.

Edit; AE03OUP was disposed of in 2015, so could now be anywhere, many such vehicles are exported.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Further searching on the pub sign on the right indicates that it could perhaps be the Black Horse at Rampton.

[llondel]

Yup, that's the place. I used to live just round the corner.

April 2005, so it was a fairly new fire engine back then. My son had fun sitting in it while all the old vehicles were parked up on Rampton Green.
Over to you, Cpt P.

[Capetonian]

I said Co. Durham because long ago under the old vehicle index system, UP was Durham.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Morning all.

Running out of challenge pics, but try this while I try to re-stock.
