The Grey Arrows 3rd Annual Birthday Competition and Treasure Hunt

Why do you think the selfie isn’t particularly good? :crazy_face::crazy_face:

Made all the worse by the fact that the promised “nice young lady” is hiding.

A sewerage treatment facility
– Bonus point if more than 50 circular filtration tanks

This is Davyhulme Sewage Works, which processes most of Manchester’s effluent.

The photo was taken yesterday evening, flying with permission of Barton City Airport (this is within an FRZ).

I’m requesting the bonus point as per the Google Maps image below:

My understanding is that tanks 1-46 are trickle filters and sedimentation tanks / clarifiers (all as per the example photo provided), while 47-52 are the same thing with odour control roofing. I’ve not counted tanks which I believe are sludge digesters (e.g. those visible closest in the photo and bottom left in the layout plan) or where I really don’t have a clue what they are.

Someone’s got their grumpy old twat head on again.

I can see your frustration with some of the stupid posts and questions, as well as people not reading the rules and requirements properly but weren’t you extremely competitive not all that long ago along with bending some rules for points from what I remember?

I did suggest that a huge cruise ship was a “10 storey building”, yes.

But …

a) I submitted it knowing it wouldn’t pass …

b) you could actually SEE the object - no zooming into a 2 pixel smudge was needed
c) I wasn’t claiming I’d been hard done by another day later
d) I wasn’t quoting the rules back at the committee … a rule that actually supported the committee.

I also already sent myself up by the fact that I was the first to respond to the 2018 challenge suggesting it was impossible … before going on to win.
