Your searches are so much better than mine. Thank you for the link, but too late to add it now :laughing:

One of the team has quite an interest in World War 2, especially the Home Defence part of things …

Jason - National Flag - 3 points.

Bridge with rail, river and road underneath - we don’t accept the road.

Above is a Google Earth screenshot in roughly the same orientation as your photo. The tarmac area on the left running under the bridge is a car park, not a road. The road that goes underneath the bridge to the right of the river is shown on your Google map as one-way.

Street View shows this:

We judge that your road does not meet the requirements needed for a bonus:

I did do a 360 inside but you only wanted 30 seconds so had to cut the video down. I did this flight before but forgot to press record in my rush to get in and get out as quickly as possible so went back today :blush: The pub is a nice place to stop and have lunch.

I understand what you are say ,but the road is at 90 deg to the A507 and there is another road 90 deg on the other side of the track. I hope you can reconsider your decision please.

What we are saying is, from the map you supplied, the road to the car park is marked as one way - not carriageways in opposite directions. This is borne out when looking at the Goole Earth Street View - we “travelled” both sides of the roads on each side of the A507 and under the bridge.

Again the Google Map that you supplied doesn’t show the road on the station side of the rail tracks extending under the bridge.

We are going on the evidence that you supplied. There is no onus on us to go deeper into each entry, we did so in your case to see whether we could award the point for a road. Unfortunately this was not the case.

If you can provide evidence that the road is not one way and that it has two defined carriageways then we can award a point. From what we have seen so far it doesn’t meet the requirements of the bonus.
