Well this is really interesting. Not for nothing were the Balkans called "The cockpit of Europe". So 20th century & not terrible enamoured of being called a Serb or a Turk. Could he be an Armenian [or perhaps even a Kurd]? - they had good cause in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to be not on good terms with Turkey.

Well, that's an interesting clue Chris. In that case, how about a diametrically opposed chap - A statue of Gavrilo Princip somewhere in the former Yugoslavia [arguably somewhere nearer Serbia than Croatia].

Looks pretty well "tooled up" - Could it be a statue of Kemel Attaturk - therefore somewhere in Turkey - if not Gallipoli even

Inset one appears to have a Balkan [or possibly Armenian/Azerbaijani] chap on a plinth. Is it one of Dimitri's pictures from somewhere South and East of the Urals?

The inset looks like one of the new TPE units - Possibly at Scarborough.
Edit..... However, if it's one of Rincew1nds's then it may well be the other side of the Pennines in Liverpool!

Inset B looks like somewhere in Germany - Berlin somewhere perhaps

I'm guessing that the link is that they are station names with two words of which the first begins with B.

Inset D is the "Blue Bridge" [The eastern entrance to the old West India Docks complex] on the A1206 road [Between Manchester Road and Prestons Road].

Very true - in this day and age though you'd really have to try hard if you wanted to build a tube extension in inner London that wasn't well used! And of course, being a new tube, means that the Battersea loop stands a pretty good chance of being used as a District Dave Christmas outing prior to the pub meal/Quiz in December [insert "appropriate year" here!]

Thank you Whistlekiller2000, This one comes from a free account at Flickr. I only opened the Flickr account today so I don't know whether the pics can be enlarged somewhat. However this thumbnail hopefully gets over the general appearance of the model.

Thank you - Now that Photobucket has effectively stopped free hosting, that makes inserting images into posts rather more problematical.

A couple of three car units still exist - one set being on the Lavender Line at Isfield. This was one of the sets that was at the Coventry Electric Museum before it closed.
I have pretty much just about completed a cast resin and etched nickel-silver kit/model in 0gauge of a two car 309/1 sets which can be found on RM Web as I seem to have forgotten how to attach images to posts at present!

The building in the background of D look like the Castle Point tower block [with its three wind generators] and Southwark Cathedral so I'll go for Kennington as well.

+1 for cab of Sarah Siddons The inset is not HMS Belfast [no gun turret on the foredeck and the presence of "SCOT" domes] + it has a ?harpoon launcher on the fo'c'sle. Also it looks to be moored on the opposite bank of the Thames to Belfast possibly near the River Police jetty by Burrells Wharf.

Regarding Background B, the wikimapia suggests that this is located in Yaroslavl on the Volga. Yaroslavl has no shortage of churches and chapels with onion domes so I suspect the tilework [in the Islamic style but without the calligraphy element ] comes from a church rather than the sole mosque in the city. How about St Alexander's chapel?
