What is in the foreground of this picture. It is somewhere in Southern England around Salisbury.  The winning entry will fly first class to London to pick up the Troppo Mercedes Sports from the panelbeater - who's had about enough of it sitting there since we dropped it off a few years ago.

    Eerily prophetic representation , etched on a chalky hillside , of a mad monk setting out to stiff his fellow countrymen.

    It is at Fovant, I spent a pleasant day with Australian military tiding up bit of the rising sun badge. It was created by recuperating Aussie WW soldiers.

    Yep, you can't beat a crowd when it comes to figuring this kind of stuff out.

    I don't know if people realise but Phil actually adds something to SJ. SJ's illustration is of something similar, but slightly less amazing down the road.

    Here's what it looks like with all the other Fovent badges that were also dug at the time. Note the half circle at the top of the picture which is one of the innumerable iron age fortifications in the area. This is probably a better picture.

    Here's what it looked like in its glory days.

    And here's a similarly built map of Australia (pdf) that is now slowly fading into the dust.

    The Middle Wallop Military Wives Choir , sounds wonderfully blackadder-ish, no?
