Where In The World 24?

By Ron Blehm
1 September 2009

The last location was pegged correctly by 96.6% of those listed below. It was Penang Island, Malaysia (known by some as Prince of Wales Island), the city being Georgetown, named for King George the III.

Okay, number 24 takes us to one of the two destinations of what has been claimed by many to be the shortest commercial or scheduled air route in the world (less than 5 minutes I understand - depending on wind direction!). If you get the two locations right you'll have a 50/50 chance of getting the right spot pegged. If you head off to the Caribbean or something you'll probably miss out. I love the registration on the Cessna in the photos, G-WIFE (it's the plane or the wife, you can't have both) and I understand the aircraft is owned by a family friend of the submitter?

   

Anyway ... your challenge is to tell us Where in the World these photos by Robin Tannahill are from.

Note: In the past and in the future a livery may provide a clue, but this will not always be the case so look (and read) carefully!

Finally, we like to review the rules for submitting photos to this "contest":

  1. This must be a real-world photo taken by or of you (no internet photos)
  2. Photos may be new or old but should clearly show the subject matter (Scenic vistas or cool architecture are good ideas)
  3. You must include a written clue and a sim photo - submit everything to: cubflounder@gmail.com
  4. Please give us your name, what continent you are from and the real, correct answer

*We reserve the right to accept or refuse any photo submissions.
