New PP event in final preparations

[EHM-2097 Andrei]

Hi all,

The next PP event will be starting in about one month, so be prepared for a new 16-legs adventure!

However, once again, instead of just telling plainly what this event is about, and where, the MT invites you to do some research and guess it.

So, without a longer introduction... here comes the first hint:

Montevideo............ Bruce EHM-2131

[EHM-1829 Trevor]

     Nice one Bruce, that's  Montevideo water front ok.

     Is the tour to do with the sixteen countries who ratified the Montevideo convention?

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

It is indeed a well recognisable tower, Palacio Salvo ... if you know where to find it
I didn't, and I wouldn't have guessed it. Well done Bruce!

I'm not sure about the 16 countries, Trevor, but I'm sure Andrei will confirm or deny

[EHM-2097 Andrei]

Indeed, that is Montevideo all right, good find Bruce and Trevor.

But where does that lead? To hint number 2, of course:

When properly identified, this will answer your suggestion Trevor about the Montevideo Convention.

[EHM-2589 David]

I guess Toulouse rose, la ville de brique The Capitole de Toulouse

[EHM-2097 Andrei]

Aah, at last an attempt at this hint... and a good one, well done David. It's kind of late here today, but expect next hint tomorrow morning.

[UPDATE]

And here is hint number 3. No more buildings or cities this time...

[EHM-2589 David]

DHC-6 Twin Otter   Ski or float variant

[EHM-2097 Andrei]

Well spotted David. Or was it too easy? I should have cut a little more of the picture

No worries, next hint will be more of a challenge:

[EHM-2589 David]

Don't believe, is the marvelous Saint-Exupéry route? He became one of the pioneers of international postal flight, in the days when aircraft had few instruments. He worked for Aéropostale between Toulouse and Dakar. In 1929, Saint-Exupéry was transferred to Argentina, where he was appointed director of the Aeroposta Argentina airline. He surveyed new air routes across South America, negotiated agreements and even occasionally flew the airmail as well as search missions looking for downed fliers... but only guess

[EHM-2097 Andrei]

You may have something here David, but... what do you do of the hint picture?

[EHM-2589 David]

 Latécoère Aeropostale plane boat 1920' 

[EHM-2097 Andrei]

David you're too good at it (unless I did the blunder to leave some obvious give-away information within the picture); TBH I expected no one would guess this hint.

On the other hand, this doesn't leave much room for guessing any longer so I will be back with proper and full explanations.

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

Hehe, well done, David!
