Close (ish) but no cigar.

Ooh, might that be those WW2 listening bowls somewhere on the South Coast - Kent way IIRC?

ETA
...or were they WW1 - I forget?

Might be...




....but they're not. Neither are they in Kent.

[Bonefish Blues]

Oh well.

Interesting in their own right though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_mirror

Clue time - they stand at the mouth of two English rivers.

[Bonefish Blues]

Hides on the Blackwater estuary mouth?

[alfie2244]

Thames + Medway?

[Riley Blue]

No and no.

Another clue - there are lots of steel boxes nearby.

[SlackBladder]

Tilbury?

[Riley Blue]

No.

If no one gets it by 9:00 I'll reveal all.

[jmorgan]

Some sort of naval ranging doohickey and the boxes are ships?

Edit. Not ships, containers.

Harwich?

[Riley Blue]

So close.....

[Richie Slow]

Coalhouse Fort?

[Riley Blue]

They're the WW2 watch towers at Landguard Fort, Felixstowe; a great place to visit and the scene of the last foreign invasion (by the Dutch in 1667).

Turn 90 degrees to the right and you see this



Anyone got a pic?

[Amateurish]

Anyone been here?

Now, now, now, don't overlook the efforts of John Paul Jones so easily (not the Zep bassist) in 1778 at Whitehaven...

[Fluffsri]

In France, Dordogne region?
