But you are sort of warm although things aren't quite what they might seem. This is 1/4 of the image, more to be revealed tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julezee001 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 It looks a bit like a night flying trainer I helped collect for a local aviation society? Jules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougiebarder Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 If you squint, and look side on, it could be a balcony or an observation platform on a ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes well done, very well spotted! I wasn't sure whether that was too tough & was expecting requests for clues. But you got it! It is a rather cute acknowledgement to the D-Day training by US forces at Braunton Burrows in North Devon, which is now a nature (oh dear sorry I mean 'biosphere') reserve.
