hmm, sold out of Shell France in 1987 after a launch in 1981. Broken up by now, I guess, so a photo of historical origin. Not UK vegetation, not (what was) National Grid's design of HV pylons, looks like limestone cliffs, so Greece ?

Panama Canal

 

[richardf]

Sorry, not Greece, not a canal.

It is historical tho' - taken from aboard my 8 ton Hillyard in 1980. That's a slight hint.

 

[flipper]

North Brittany?

 

[richardf]

A lot closer to there than either Panama or Greece.

A big river in Germany - Rhine or Elbe?

 

[richardf]

Too far east. It's a river tho'. (I'm giving it away now, I think)

Seine?

 

[richardf]

Oui monsieur! Just below Rouen. I didn't notice it at first, as it was so big. I was wondering why the guy on the boat with the flashing light was waving at me.

 

[Twister_Ken]

Must be dark in that cave, coz I can't find the image.

I'd recognise that transom anywhere.
Is it a converted Sadler 32?

 

[richardf]

Sorry, I moved it accidentally.

You cunning devil you! Just stretched it a bit and added 87,694 tons of ballast.

I seem to recognise that Fishoggie lying on the bank Under the King HArry landing stage.
