This will take you on a short historic trip around Chievres AB. Be
sure to visit the museum if it is open.
The coordinates will take you to
the round about where you will need to start. There is
nothing to be found at the above coordinates.
You have received some military intelligence. Your job is to
interrupt aerial photographs and find clues to help find nearby
enemies supply cache.
The white circles on the main picture are the locations of hints
for the final cache. You will need a copy of the pictures to
complete your assignment. Each of the pictures are a close up of
the area were the hint is. You will need to print out the pictures
to aid you in the search.
The Seven pictures are:
Aerial Photograph
A Bunker
A Gate
A Cemetery
An Intersection
A Barn
A Field
The Aerial photograph will get you in the general area. Once there
follow these clues
At the Bunker you will need to find a soldiers lost dog tag. It
will give you the information you need. There are many bunkers
similar to this one in the area. They were used to defend the Air
Base and near by Daume Marie Casern.
At the Gate you are looking for the first digit of the gate
number. During WWII a couple of young women posing as tourist were
arrested in this area. Even through brutal interrogation they did
not let on that they were part of the resistance. Do not let
yourself get caught like them.
At the Cemetery you will need to find the 9 graves pictured and
note what the date of death was for these brave men. May they live
in our heart and minds forever, so as that their death was not in
vain. “C” May 1944
At this intersection count the number of villages missing on the
picture. This will be the value of the last letter of the last
village that's missing. Beneath this small square lies a large fuel
tank that got caught between the buildings as the Germans were
trying to move it. It is now buried under the road.
Near the Barn you will need to find another dog tag. As you
approach this area and search for the dog tag you must take note of
the surrounding buildings. The roofs have been cut off so that
heavy bombers would have enough clearance to takeoff.
Just outside the town of Bauffe you need to find the last of the
dog tags. Take note that you do not have to search the surrounding
fields. Towards the end of the war a U.S. bomber crashed in the
nearby fields on its way back from a bombing mission in Germany.
Take heed of this warning they were almost home and never lived to
tell the tale. You may think you are close to being finished with
this mission do not let complacency kill you.
Once you have recovered all of the data, finish the coordinates and
go to the Supply stash.
N50 35.ABC E03 49.DEF
Inside you'll find coords and a spoiler to reach the final
destination.
There is a small military Aviation Museum at N50 35.053 E03 48.379
They are open on the weekends between 1400-1700 hours I think the
cost is 2.50 euros.
