1. E is Avenida Revolucion in Tijuana https://maps.app.goo.gl/Frss26LRhHzY5VuV7

2. B is the Freddie Mercury museum in Zanzibar

3. I think K. is the Military Techical Museum Noginsk; and the leftmost vehicle a ZiL-375Ya PEU-1.

   (I’m afraid I’m on a mobile and will have to leave searching Streetview to someone else)

4. I reckon the tankette on the left in A. is an Italian Carro Veloce 33, later designated L3 and widely exported.
   (It might be one of the later (19)35 revisions, but I don’t think it’s as late as the (19)38 revision).

   • I think it’s at the Technical Museum Nikola Tesla in Zagreb an has “YU-CGO”, a yellow biplane behind it.

   • That’s correct.
     The actual picture is here: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.8038894,15.9639329,3a,75y,340.89h,87.47t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sAF1QipP9ZUvfir3AXjOBSUBKERAC0TfGO7PkNaNtg_4-!2e10!3e11!7i8192!8i4096?entry=ttu

5. I’m fairly confident i. is the Zaragoza Museum of Firefighting.
   The centre machine would be a Magirus-Metz from German firm Klöckner Deutz.

6. Zanzibar, Zagreb, Zaragoza – why doesn’t Tijuana start with Z??

   • Well, according to Wikipedia, Avenida Revolution is the main tourist thoroughfare of the historic downtown of Tijuana, officially called the Zona Centro.

     Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenida_Revoluci%C3%B3n

     • Noginsk is worse to fit in – the museum’s address is actually Chernogolovka, and the actual building is in a smaller place again called Ivanovskoe, but none of that is a Z!

       • Yeah, I also had a really hard time to find it. Only to find out it was not the right place.

     • This week’s theme is a tad thin/inconsistent. The ‘Z’ in E is the animal near the centre of the photo.(clue: Tijuana is famous for them)

       • Then it is a Zonkey!
         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonkey_(Tijuana)

         I did notice that, but all the others seemed to be placenames at the time 🙂

7. I believe that F. is Olympias (trireme), but I can’t find the correct picture or location.

   • Well, I was wrong. It is actually a trireme replica in Zakynthos or Zante island in Greece.

     F. Trireme replica in Zante

10. K. is ZIL-E167. Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIL-E167

    Still looking for the right picture

    • Finally.

11. D – Zig Zag railway station

12. H. Zeppelin monument at Santa Cruz Air Force Base. It was originally called Bartolomeu de Gusmão Airport and it was constructed to handle the operations with the rigid airships Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg.

    Here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Santa+Cruz+Air+Force+Base/@-22.9233943,-43.7025222,3a,75y,265.5h,91.04t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sYBdksK92A_uGIhwN8EmMOA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x9bfa10d1668c5b:0x4af6d8a399767840!2sSanta+Cruz+Air+Force+Base!8m2!3d-22.9235274!4d-43.7027356!16s%2Fm%2F076t_5f!3m5!1s0x9bfa10d1668c5b:0x4af6d8a399767840!8m2!3d-22.9235274!4d-43.7027356!16s%2Fm%2F076t_5f?hl=en&entry=ttu

13. There’s a fifty-fifty chance L. is the Muzeum průmyslových železnic (MPŽ) in Zbýšov, Czech Republic
    If I’m right there should be a tall square tower behind and to the left of the shed.

    And I still reckon the connction is places that fill Roman with childish joy.

    • That’s the right place: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1ZoPKBNXb8enG1M68.

      How did you find that one?

      • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_ft_and_600_mm_gauge_railways
        Did have to scroll past the tempting Zinga–Mongo of the CAR.

        There was a related Wikipedia page that explained the difference between miniature railways/riding railroads and working gauges.
        Then eliminated the pages specific to the US and UK, searching for z’s. There were a couple of outside chances (Pennsylvania Zephyr) and worry that Roman might’ve double-tapped Zennor (Rosevale).

        However, to my eye, the gap between rails still looks to be 18 inches. (But I doubtless don’t understand railway gauges)

14. So, only one left: J. I m not sure what we are looking at: is it a star? Or something completely different?
