Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
I reckon it was originally Napoleonic and fortified by the Germans in WWII (which is why I said CI originally)
Maybe a Greek island?
(I'd love to say Navarone...)

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
I think I've seen something similar but not the same, but Channel Islands or Normandy. Doesn't sound right though.

Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park
- the Prince of Wales Bastion.
Interesting search - thank you, Ex-Ascot.
OH if correct, please.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
The very distinctive skyline of Lancing College north of Shoreham Airport gave away the location as being the latter - I worked at the airport for a few years. The sculpture is the memorial to those who perished as a result of the Hunter crash at an Air Day a few years ago.
OH please if confirmed.
