I have it as Wally Hope winning the 1928 King's Cup but Brooklands is correct and what was asked! There is some of the banked track visible (which, in the case of Lympne, it has not got).
Over to you.

Do catch up number four.

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 17:26

Thanks. I thought it was Alan Cobham in 1927 but as you say, correct place. Few minutes please while I find something. Wasn't Sycamore second in 1928?

dook 1st Aug 2019 17:30

Yes he was, but, as in air combat, there's no prize for second place. :sad:

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 17:38

Bit high, Hoskins. In fact, very high.

Top of page.

"Bit high, Hoskins. In fact, very high".

Good angle for strafe though. :E

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 19:10

12 o'clock, 500, hangars. Right, 2 o'clock, 100, Officers' Mess.

OK - two bursts of 30mm HE should do it.

To the task - East Anglia ?

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 19:31

Not East Anglia.

dook 1st Aug 2019 19:33

Just a wild guess to roll the ball.

I suspect much further NW.

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 19:41

Not North West of East Anglia. The Iceni knew the way.

dook 1st Aug 2019 19:58

A Roman road towards Londinium maybe.

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 20:12

Not towards The Great Wen.

dook 1st Aug 2019 20:23

Maybe Cambridgeshire then.

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 20:26

Keep climbing westward.

dook 1st Aug 2019 20:28

Waypoint Warwickshire ?

Maybe "climb" means a bit of north in it.

JENKINS 1st Aug 2019 20:38

Warwickshire not high enough, and too far North. Was it Ram-Jet Ricky found a high spot, a GPO mast? Follow the chalk.
