Operation Identification Challenge 7
Where am I, and what date did the RAF have a very successful operation and that local reports state that a firestorm occurred.

Too much clutter for me John, can't make out any significant details to work on.

I'm guessing Stuttgart 12/13 Sept 44
Re: Operation Identification Challenge 7
Now, either i'm imagining things, or John has played a slightly crafty one here , because i'm pretty sure i've got it. I'm going for Bremen, 18/19th August 44.
Well, looks like the prize goes to you Upkeep, and i "was" imagining things, i looked at Bremen and found that if turned Johns photo 180 degees clockwise, there was a similar look about it, as i thought the dark patch projecting from the right was water

There is no paralell in warfare, to such courage and determination in the face of danger, over so long a period. Such devotion, should never be forgotten.
Re: Operation Identification Challenge 7
It's definitely Stuttgart, but I'd go for 25/26 July 1944.

Re: Operation Identification Challenge 7
John, is it possible for you to take off the extra details from the picture so that is less confusing, or is this part of the puzzle.

Re: Operation Identification Challenge 7
Hi Kerry,
Unfortunately, I do not know how to remove or the coloured tags. the picture come from 'google earth' and I haven't been able to remove them. I can only suggest you look at the patterns of the landscape, ie: rivers layouts etc to try and identify the 'city'.

On the left hand side there should be a tab titled "Layers". Make sure they are all unchecked.

We're just happy that an 'umble Flight Sergeant and F/O (not sure what that stands for but I'm sure Parky will tell me) are able to advise the ACM.
