Finally...

The images are dated this month - April 2018 - and the car that they are using is plastered with notices saying 'VAKIF KATILIM'.

They haven't covered a lot of ground yet, but they've gone along the edge of Girne Castle, and up Ziya Rızkı Caddesi etc, so it looks as though they are starting in the centre of Girne and working out.

There's also views taken with a handheld device from inside and on top of the Castle.

I'd like to see 'em climb up St. Hilarion with it

...Having had a look around, it appears that they did get someone to do that!

There hasn't been much more activity in the last week, just another street or two...

They have refined the images somewhat - they have blurred faces and car number plates that were clearly identifiable in the original images, so I think that they are having a practice run - perhaps getting local operatives used to the system and what have you...

Interesting to see it in action!

We only exist as a village - maybe in 50 years time!

They've got a bit further - up to the layby just before the Büyük Anadol Hotel on the Hill heading towards Lefkoşa.
