Correct!!.....Cathy McGowan was on Ready, Steady, Go! on Friday evenings' ITV.

Bit easy in view of the ID A-10s deploying.

I had only looked at where the ID A-10 were based the other day. But I didn't ever see Ready Steady Go , I knew the name from a Generation X song of the same name.

Another then

You don't want to be far out at this Marine Corps base as it's not easy to see!

Hi Slogen51

I will have a go with...

Beaufort.

A not quite so easy one...although it might be...

"Penthouse located outside the EU provides sight of this well-known former EU base."

Post by **slogen51** » Sat May 16, 2020 8:09 am

Need to be careful here a former EU base can be a current UK base!

I will try LEUchars? although I can't see the penthouse bit

No.

In this case, "former" = closed.

Post by **Tiger 1** » Thu May 21, 2020 8:23 pm

Well Bob.. looks like you got us all stumped with this one... I can't find away in with this one.

My thinking

Penthouse is a Condominium?... Condo?

Outside the EU... somewhere like Switzerland.

Well know closed EU base?

May be another clue please Bob... to get this moving again.

I should be doable but I can't think of a penthouse - flat , attic etc. Flateu ? Fleuat etc

I thought of Leck - it had EC for the euro commission

Or maybe it is a word literally containing EU ( why I tried Leuchars)

Penthouse is also a well known Mag

"located outside the EU".....think Passport Control at French Channel ports

Post by **slogen51** » Fri May 22, 2020 5:50 am

When you drive back through Calais it is the UK border and the French border in Dover

Outside the Schengen area? Douannes

Post by **Tiger 1** » Fri May 22, 2020 8:11 am

Hi rh226

I will have a go with...

Cambrai

Specifically the signs.

There are two (disguised) "operations" that the clue tells you to perform.
