Good heavens. Where is it from? Blackgang Chine, Isle of Wight. They have had a number of 'life size' fibreglass dinosaurs since 1972, and they are all pretty horrific to look at! Still, they have their nostalgic charm...

Ahh, I see. I seem to have this vague notion that I might have visited it once before, but surely I would have remembered more distinctly if that was the case. Not least that Brachiosaurus... Is there some other place on the Isle of Wight that I could have confused it with? My brain evidently ceased functioning properly long ago...

Oh, that Smilodon's expression is priceless. Thank you for the pictures, Marc. But no, I don't think I've been there after all. I have in mind a place which wasn't a theme park, but which had some fossil exhibits; I felt sure it was on the Isle of Wight, but I could well be wrong now.

You might mean the Dinosaur Farm museum, or maybe Dinosaur Isle, although that's more recent.

I think it must be one of those. I was about fourteen or so when I went...

Reminds of the place in southern Oregon. I love that place Boki! I have the complete set of postcards and a baseball cap from there
