The Great Big GADC 6th Birthday and Treasure Hunt Challenge!

Recognisable

arethesermvans

We can infer that the red blobs are probably delivery vehicles - or containers - or large skips from Biffa purely from theRoyal Mail logo that we think we can see on the building in the background.

We are retiring to the pub the boardroom to consider this matter

Yeah the camera on the mini3 pro isn’t as good as eyesight, could see them clear as day with eyes :neutral_face:

I think I’d need the help of Jim Phelps to pull that off ! :disguised_face:

if it helps…

Thank you Steve, if you had read our reply you would see we had mentioned that. We are debating the definition of the word “recognisable” and wondering whether it should be added to the GADC dictionary

Oh I did … :smiley:

After discussion we have agreed two points are yours, Greg.

darn - I was going to post this one from last week - but I waited patiently for a couple of hours for a RM van to visit the depot, but none did. :rofl: :rofl:

At least I found another one eventually.

So if anyone still needs a DHL / RM

With a couple of assumptions. these are the scores on the doors from my unofficial spreadsheet for the final 24 hours

The top 7 can still finish in the top 3 - still a lot to play for - I don’t recall previous years being this close at this stage - so this is credit to all involved.

Will it all be down to if anyone has bagged a flight above 120m?

So far 912 points from 302 entries

(note the spreadsheet also makes some assumptions on bonus points in a couple of the columns)

I am off out for a bit of drone flying even if it is just 4am :rofl: :rofl:

Hva e great day everyone!
