OK. LOTS of new info.

Tonight at the Brixton show there were lots of yellow AIR flyers attached to all the railings. At first, we thought they were the same as the old ones, but we soon realised that there was a London address written down on them:


However, there was ANOTHER clue in the flyer. A series of dashes which when counted was "24.20.4"


So after the show, icklekitty, schteph, slave2thewage, a non ETS poster named Belle and I went to the address. When we arrived to the address and found the bridge (after travelling across London), we were met by a huge AIR billboards. It was named "Operation Swamp 0000". I am sorry, but all the photos I took were on my mobile phone, so they aren't the best quality but still pretty good.

On the "Operation Swamp" billboard there was ANOTHER number code hidden within an image, this number was "24.20.3". Which is almost identical to the number found on the flyer.


Here is a picture of the "Operation Swamp 0000" billboard:


Also, I have a lot more close ups of all the billboard on my flickr, click here for more photos.

And here is schteph and I posing:


And I'm done.

I must admit, that's pretty intense.
But one side of my brain is also saying "wow they sure took this overboard" but it's cool.

Fucking Amazing! I am definitely heading down there to see these tomorrow! The first one actually looks painted?!?!

Although the style of art just looks ... odd. a very odd choice.

Is the operation swamp in this related to the 1981 Brixton riots?

Operation Swamp was a police operation in the 80's that led to the Brixton riots...

But there were some AIR flags in the poster.. it's got to be ARG related.

Well, the bottle with the 24.20.3 number on it seems a little too familiar, I wouldn't doubt if it had maybe something to do with YZ.

The last image on that website looks exactly like the Operation Magic Kingdom mural found by the bridge.

Now I'm not so sure if these paintings are really part of the ARG.

EDIT: I posted this before I saw the new site. Guess they really ARE part of the ARG. Fucking awesome.
