Where would you be if you saw this view? There's a small clue in the centre of the picture....

Trevor. Wrong Answer. I doubt if you were ever a POW in Germany or anywhere else!

Paulbishop. Wrong Answer. No prizes for "Right Clicking"

Maj114. You are closest so far. Well done!!

No I never said that i had been, I am to young to have been anyway, but have seen a lot of documentary's on the subject and to me the image that you posted looks familiar to some seen in documentary's maybe because its black and white, and why did you assume that i had anyway as I do not say that I had in my post.

Is it a airport or some sort of a military base

I took your answer too literally I guess. But that wasn't the question anyway. It was Where am I? if this was my view. The clues are in the picture but you have to look closely and know your geography.

Looks a bit like the river Humber to me. am I close?
 
Humberside No, Portsmouth very close. I am in fact standing on the west shore of Hayling Island (Langstone Harbour), looking towards Southsea and Portsmouth. In the centre of the view Spiniker Tower is just visible. If you were to look immediate left of the picture you would see the Isle of Wight. This spot is a favourite daytime stop for motorhomes.

maj114 said Southampton water You are closest so far you said, I said Portsmouth Harbour, I then looked on google earth around Southampton area and found your clue the Spiniker Tower my answer was not realy a total wild one and it was not spot on but close. I do not know the area only been to Southampton once last year to a game fair.
I have just had another look on google earth were you near ferry road ?

Ferry Road

Well done Trevor, more or less spot on. Right to the end of Ferry Road and turn left before you get to the Pub Ferry Inn. Walk along the beach and face West and you will get the same view as in the picture. If you get chance, a visit to Spiniker tower is well worth the trip. Im still trying to find a view point to photograph it. Its so big its hard to get it all in the frame!!!
Later...
