The white building that looks a bit like a control tower is Orford Sailing Club

Next your bike with anything linked to the Cold War

I had some quality time with the 890 today, and on my travels passed this place



It's RAF Halton- There aren't any cold-war era planes on view and although I'm guessing pilots were still trained there in the cold war era I wasn't sure whether it really played any sort of role, and it's probably a bit tenuous, so on my way home I managed to snap a shot outside the entrance to Chequers without getting shot



This place does have a history of various UK and US leaders meeting there for secret summits post WW2 , and more publically Margaret Thatcher hosting Gorbachev there Christmas 1984, which some say was instrumental in kicking off the end of the cold-war as-was.

If that works, then next is your bike with a Japanese-style Pagoda in shot

[weeksy]

I'm easy. Always a win.

[Skub]

I'm easy. Always a win.

You didn't say that when I had to take a Greek yogurt for a ride.

[Scotsrich]

Not my bike but I saw this in a car park at Applecross.

Now that’s dedication.

The Hunter is a Cold War aircraft as far as I'm concerned, they were flying over my house in the late 70s and early 80s, very distinctive sound.

I worked with a maintenance test pilot who described the engine as 'constant thrust, variable noise'.

If I google Suffolk Pagoda I get this

I love a ride to Orford, I must have done at least 5 of these challenges with pictures from Orford, but it's not exactly Japanese

[Wossname]

I must have missed it... Do we have a new challenge?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Japanese Pagoda still.
I think it's time from some executive input from Weeksy as pagodas aren't happening

Your Orford one would do ( or I guess there must be some Pagoda-y looking things at Garden centres if we get desperate )

I rode around Willen lake here in MK for ages on Monday trying to find somewhere I could get a shot of this with my bike in view, must have lapped the lake 3 times in various ways No dice though.

First purpose built peace pagoda in the UK and the western hemisphere, as far as I know.

You're going to have to do a midnight trespass in the park

The ones at Orford are so far away you can barely see them In a photo, shame I haven't got a trail bike anymore, we used to ride right up to them 35 years ago (the MOD couldn't be arsed to chase us off, but English Heritage might be a whole lot more Nazi about it)

I'm not in charge, @Tricky can pick something if he wants to move this along a bit.

[KungFooBob]

Do I win?

[weeksy]

Sure.

Next!

[Jody]

Sure.

Next!

Whats next boss?

I actually remembered to check this thread before I went out

[KungFooBob]

I've got my fingers crossed the next challenge is a pic of your bike on Le Shuttle.
