pop larkin Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I would guess Blackpool Sands ( no not that Blackpool!!) the one near Slapton. It was also used by US forces for D-Day training. (I think you can just make out the start of Slapton Sands in the distance. Quote
Snapper Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 No idea, but it is a wonderful snap. I've not seen it before. Is this part of your then and now scheme, Dorset? Quote

Great War truck Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Jack wont be home until late, maybe even tomorrow (or day after if he has run out of fuel). But anyway, I think it is the next beach along to Slapton Sands which if i remember correctly was indeed Blackpool Sands. Tim (too) Quote
Great War truck Posted May 5, 2008 Posted May 5, 2008 Here is a recent (but small) pic of Blackpool sands. It looks quite similar, but there are a couple of geographical differences. Hmm, I am not sure now. Jack! jack! Where are you! Quote
