Sorry for the delay. Been in town. Woody has it. I don't recognise it at all.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Bit of a clue, the original is probably on tv over the holidays
When all else fails, read the instructions.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
I believe we are in the Disney's Hollywood Studios lot of Walt Disney World, Orlando, FL., here
28.356418405388236, -81.5580477321841
on the Indiana Jones Spectacular set.
The aircraft appears to be derived from the Heinkel He219 Uhl, with added turned-down wingtips.
OH if correct.

To keep this thread alive try this:
It is a 30+ year old photograph but archway still looks the same.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
That's the arch in Fettercairn with the Ramsay Arms Hotel visible to the left and through the arch. It's just a 15 minute drive from my house. They narrowed the road through the arch with kerbs to only allow cars but so much damage was done to car wheels they have widened it a bit again. During one of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s many visits to their Scottish retreat at Balmoral Castle, the couple elected to stay overnight in Fettercairn. To celebrate their arrival the arch was constructed at the western entrance to the village. Fettercairn distillery is worth a visit if you are ever in these parts.
From the other direction nowadays: O/H upon confirmation please.

Fettercairn it is (didn't last long!) as correctly identified by C16.
OH has been declared (again)

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
How about this one?
Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
OK, perhaps it's too hard. The view would have been very different 20 years ago, so you might have to guess what was there before.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
I've seen the view before, and I'm struggling to remember where.
Some kind of renewal scheme, maybe student accommodation on an old steelworks.
Wodrick's right, England is correct, I think.

England is the correct place to start, yes.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Would that be a seat of learning? UEA in Norwich?
It's always my fault - SWMBO
Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Not a seat of learning. This will probably give it away though:it does have a sporting connection.
Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Think I may have cracked it - is it Highbury, the former home of Arsenal FC as it is now ie converted to flats?
Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Yes, that's the place. DBx to kick off next.
Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Thanks. Here's another:

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Being as I am nautically minded these days, I remember seeing something about this on my news feed, yes even over here on the other side of the pond. I felt I had to look it up, really cool history, but I will recuse myself having looked it up in detail.....
Life may not be the party you hoped for, but while you're here, you may as well dance.
