Tanzanite - Tanzania ?

Not sure about Tanzanite but it is in Tanzania. The Zanzibar connection is that it was in Tanganika when the photo was taken and Tanzania was formed from the merger of the two countries.

Just checked... no connection to Tanzanite.

I was following up on an article about Jake Thompson-Bennett.

If it's Tanzania I think it is the Williamson diamond mine.

Close enough. The mine is at Mwadui. What was the access road to the pictured airfield is now the current airstrip.

At least I didn't get jumped that time. :uhoh:

BTW Flap, Tanzanite is a gem, mostly blue, only found in Tanzania.

And how about how some of mine last for no time.

Back to you.

Sorry, If you've flown into Nice regularly you can easily recognise Frejus.

I can't believe you have put up such an easy one !

Templehof - first line of the search.

It is easy but an unusual angle. I thought the railway might fool some.

I Goggled "disused airfield railway tracks" and up it came from the same angle.

That looks familiar but i can't remember why.

Is the road the A1?

If it looks familiar you're bloody old !

Not the A1. The nearest A road is not in the pic.

When I lived in Uganda, my wife to be bought 100,000UGX worth of "diamonds" that had been "smuggled" out of the mine.

I did tell her that it was likely to be a scam, but she went ahead anyway, even going to the bank to get the money out.

Nice bits of glass anyway. And it was only £30, but as she only earned 300,000UGX a month before tax, so it was a fair hit for her.

I bet she wouldn't be scammed again, even though it's rife.

It still makes me smile when people think my wifes' gold Rolex is from Bangkok (it's real).

I'll try Ludford Magna.
