I just need some giant PEZ to go with the giant dispensers.
I suspect that this may have been the most northernmost GMT in the UK at the time:

If not then this one a few days later must have been
Would that PEZ be orange-flavoured?I just need some giant PEZ to go with the giant dispensers.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Yes they would have subtle orange notes, but only when there’s a gentle northerly breeze blowing.
Would have rather been at Lords..(or maybe not)

Is it a university campus?

Not too difficult?

No it’s not. Maybe this will help (another clue, but without the watch)

Nope.
Maybe this will help better:

Even with the clues I’m drawing blanks. Can see that it’s likely in France, and surely a military museum (or related) but then I can’t pin it down. Trying to figure out the engine...
I'll have a stab at Le musée de l’Air et de l’Espace, Paris.
You are on the right(ish) track. The engine is a Renault 12K and is an important clue.

Thought it would be easy for the sleuths on here. Former leper colony in the distance.Not too difficult?
Spinalonga?
Correct. North East Crete.
Tasmania Village or Elounda Blu ?
Duplicate.
Wowser, there’s a man who knows his exact geography!
Tasmania village. Last minute booking a week ago with Tui once Grant Shapps gave holidays the green light without the risk of quarantine rules changing for a bit.
It is on the same scale as Elounda Blu, but we’re thoroughly enjoying the place. A great last minute holiday. Presumably you have been to one or both?
I’ve been to google maps !
Fair enough. I thought it may have been a bit of local holiday knowledge.
I am slightly disappointed that neither Matthew nor Ralf and CB did not find what that little castle was.

An easy one for you - I tried to capture the zoo but might have been a little toughI am slightly disappointed that neither Matthew nor Ralf and CB did not find what that little castle was.
This may be a difficult one for most of you, so if you can't pinpoint where it is, you may have a guess what we're looking at.
That looks RF related but further research is required.This may be a difficult one for most of you, so if you can't pinpoint where it is, you may have a guess what we're looking at.

Whatever it is, that watch/strap combo looks great and is a cracking match for it!

Thanks!
Nope. To be fair it's only one part of a much larger machine, so may not be an easy one.
The first picture is unrelated by the way, but I'm guessing you already spotted what that is.
My apologies, have been absent from the thread during the past weeks. First holidays, then busy catching up in the office.
I promise improvements! Currently I have no idea what is still open and what isn't, so will work myself backwards into the thread.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Spent two hours searching antennas in museums in UTC+2 and aeronautical museums/exhibitions in France.
Either I'm thick or you have made up those photos.

You mean L'Envol des Pionniers in Toulouse? You're clearly out of shape...
You are at Musée du Bourget, Paris. One of the few places that has a Breguet 14 in show.
Ah, non.
Ah, oui!You mean L'Envol des Pionniers in Toulouse? You're clearly out of shape...

Is it a voltaic pile?This may be a difficult one for most of you, so if you can't pinpoint where it is, you may have a guess what we're looking at.

Yes it is. Well done.
That was painful. Got stuck with the idea that it was an antenna, but then figured that the pattern isn't curling up.
Looked at a good hundred voltaic piles already but couldn't find this particular one yet, pretty distinct base with the two wooden squares.
Will return later to it, busy now.

In Boerhaave Museum, Leiden?
I'm impressed, that's absolutely correct. Have you been there? If so, you should be able to recall what's in my other picture.
Well done!

Is it an EEG?

It is not.
That’s easy - I’m pretty sure it’s a holder for someone’s collection of used beer mats
That is where the engine and the poster were taken.You mean L'Envol des Pionniers in Toulouse? You're clearly out of shape...
The first photo is the château Petit Espinet Raynal, head office of what was a plane manufacturing company.
The second photo is what is left of what was the runway, before the airport was moved from Montaudran to Blagnac.
It is singularly important in the development of commercial aviation because it is where Latecoere put a man, Didier Daurat, in charge of creating and developing air mail first across French colonies in Africa, then in South America. His pilots became legends like Jean Mermoz and Antoine de Saint-Exupery, of Little Prince fame; those 2 created Aeroposta Argentina. Merging with several other small companies it became Aerolíneas Argentinas after the war. Latecoere became Aéropostale, and was one of the companies which merged to create Air France.
The engine was fitted to a Potez 25 allowing them to fly above the Andes in 1928.

I was slowly heading in the right direction before being sidetracked onto unnecessary tasks like painting a wall. Looks like a fascinating museum.
I believe that the box with all the switches is controlling an Electrologica X8.

Well if it's consistent with your profile then it must be the Stand in Glasgow?
Cheers

Typical Weegie, dividing the world into "Glasgow" and "everywhere else"!
Half right.
