Fantastic!

I wonder what was on the menu of a “British” restaurant?

First one try Colwyn Bay

What about the island in the background? I think that is a bit of Anglesea

Blackpool North is a good call:

I’m reminded of the Goon Show

Willium:
‘Ere, I recognise you…

Seagoon:
Do you?

Willium:
You’re the bloke I was just shooting at, aren’t you?

Seagoon:
What makes you so sure?

Willium:
All them holes in your nut.

Seagoon:
Silly man! They’re old bullet holes!

Willium:
I know, I was using old bullets!

I really can’t see this being a runway/railway crossing. Who would be walking down the runway – with or without an aircraft, where would the bridge be, where would you put the sign?

To me it is far more likely to be a hangar the wrong side of the tracks, or as SMS88 suggests a factory or repair depot

Richard

Is ‘aircraft’ instead of ‘aeroplane’ significant?

Where is that norty Spitfireman to confirm or deny these speculations?

Richard

unless of course it is modern photoshopping !!

I’m sure there’s some photoshopping there. The cut off around the edges is odd. I’m dubious of the depth of field putting the other two spits so far out of focus. They are all in the same camo scheme too, with the same shadows

I’m still not convinced by the front Spit. The lighting says yes, the detail says no…

Richard

Let’s wait and see

You can read the receipt for the blades on line now (with the price concealed naturally). Bought in 1991 apparently and from an “early MK”
