Friday Foxer #200

This week’s handmade co-op puzzle won’t defox itself. If you’re a whizz at quizzes, lateral thinking, and search engine sleuthing, why not lend a hand.

To fully defox the following geofoxer, identify all twelve locations plus the theme that links them.

    • The Indian restaurant on the left in the Broad St view is called The Sepoy Club – Sepoy is a name for an infantryman in the Mughal empire, and lives on as a term for a private in the Indian and Pakistani armies.

  5. D looks like somewhere near an airport to me but maybe the fence is too low. I did look up Bombadier in case i could retrofit that, and it came up with a couple of places at Airports in the UK, but no dice.
