John Dow Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Call me Sherlock, for I have solved it. However I shan't declare its identity, rather, I shall pose a question that may be a key to solving it if you can apply your sleuthing skills. If Boetie were to pivot on the spot 180 degrees, and head off on the reciprocal of this photo for many kilometres, he might find himself elevated to a Polish connection that was until recently, was spelt incorrectly and is still not pronounced correctly. Many mountains and valleys he would cross, that are inhabited by wild horses and a scattering of stockmen's huts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two clues in the photo that give the game away. You just need Google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Abernathy Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 You got it Rod! Don't know how you figured it out so quick with such minor detail. Took pictures last week to send to Andreas for a 3WA1 update. I have another if you don't have one, or if someone else wants to jump in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto2 Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 (edited) Hey Rob, I don't have a pic so go ahead and post another. I love Andrea's Diamond Point so when I saw the pic, I just thought....Diamond Point! Rod Edited September 21 by stiletto2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 I know, very little to go on. I could see glimpses of it through the trees but ran into a gate here about 100 yards from the airport. Sign said trespassers would meet their backhoe if you crossed the line..lol Private airport for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
