    Found Kohima but not the Cemetery with the Tennis Court also having trouble with El Alamein.
    See if anyone can find them by time I get back from work.

    Iowa, rather ignominiously at rest up the river from San Francisco.

    Is that you with the red axe chopping the wood?:tongue:


    No, however, if you type my address into Google Earth and then zoom in you can see at the north end of the runway two T 6's (Harvards) and a yellow and a red Stearman.

    Funny, when I typed 'colditz' in straight after looking at USS Alabama (and the sub) it took me to the Federal Express building in Mobile.

    anyone got Auschwitz?
    David, your Dad's old POW camps about?
    I notice Bayeux isn't as sharp as it was. Used to be able to cemetery and memorial but not now.

    The White Cliffs of Dover: 51° 8'3.97"N 1°21'42.78"E
    No Bluebirds though :mad: .
    Dover castle to the West is worth a look too, lots of Gun emplacements but hard to make out.

    Auschwitz/Oswiecim doesn't seem to have the local resolution to make anything out?

    Dover is a good one. Found campsite we stayed at in August.

    St Nazaire not too good either.
