Cornwall 1/2 Mill Chart Symbol
 
:confused:

Any of you learned Cornish folk know what is the symbol on the 1/2 Mill Chart, to the north-west of Camborne, approx - N 50° 15’ W 005° 20’?

It looks like a racetrack with 3 x ‘shark fins’ inside it. It is not identified in the legend or in the notes. Much debate has gone on but we cannot figure it out.

I have discounted the proposed theory that it is a holding pattern for Great White Sharks as everyone knows Great White Sharks don’t go around in threes!! :\

It is multiple (ie 3) 'HANG/PARA GLIDING' launch sites.


(The answer's always in the key.) :E

Derrrrr!

Now I see it!! It's 3 x separate wings and NOT, as it looked to me at first through aged eyes, 1 x solid bar with 3 x shark fins on it.

Anyone know the number of my local Specsavers????? :8

Thank you Bravo73.................for pointing out yet another deficiency in my ageing, frail body!;)
