Correct !!! green on its way
The french fleet were controlled by "Vichy" ( German occupied)France and was a threat to operation "Torch" which was a landing behind Rommels lines in the Western Desert so he got the Royal Navy to sink them in the port !!!

Wild guess

Venice commercial port entrance in the background re Marco Polo ??

**Mr Pot** · 20-09-2008, 02:04 AM

nah, the building near the centre of the photo architecture might give away the first colonizers of the place

**Happyman** · 20-09-2008, 02:07 AM

It looks Italianate and the Japs copied that style - but as it is not in the East that idea is down the tubes !!

Can you Photoshop a car on the highway so I can see which side of the road the buggers drive on

**Mr Pot** · 20-09-2008, 02:14 AM

the cars are one of the most interesting things about the place

and they drive on the right

**jandajoy** · 20-09-2008, 02:16 AM

Cuba, Havanna ?

**Mr Pot** · 20-09-2008, 02:18 AM

connection with china and korea (N) was the socialist politics
