I will be starting a new thread at midnight tonight with a specific target to achieve in 24 hours to celebrate 75th anniversary of VE day tomorrow. I propose that we rename the FCF as the Fantastic Celebratory Forum for 24 hours to properly celebrate that joyous day in 1945, 75 years ago tomorrow. It will need as many people to contribute as possible to achieve the target of 75 relevant posts by midnight tomorrow night. So please join in with that and help the FCF celebrate properly!! :) :) :) :)

Here's a whatsthisthen? or to be more precise whatdoesitsayontheothersideofthismilestonethen? springing out of the VE Day 75th Anniversary thread. Much of the spadework has been done by yours truly.

Full credit will only be given for an image.

Have you discovered the answer Mick? Calne could well have been a possibility but its not the answer on that particular milestone. There is definitely an image available of its backside, and then of course for google streetview users there is always a virtual drive to get to the answer.

Speaking of milestones Mick, you are currently on the "number of the beast" as far as likes go. :-D

Could I trade the credit for a "like" to get me off the number of the beast? It sends shivers down the spines of all cricketers and I wouldn't want to be held responsible for that!! :-D
