(this is my first time on the forum,hope it is ok)
Re,Martinet HN888,I was with Ken Haddleton on the Martinet dig,I am also a founder member of the WARG,I have some photos of winch and engine in situ,the winch was recovered at a later date by other members of WARG,but during a move to new premises,the winch went “missing”and turned up later at a military sale in shrewsbury,and has subsequently vanished,if you would like photos of the remains at the site I will be glad to supply them,the engine a Mercury XXX was in a ravine where it came to rest after it had rolled down the slope,the exhaust collector ring was still in situ though badly damaged,the prop I am told was kept in the local RAFA at knighton,

I have been asked by Don (BEIHAN62) to post these pics of remains of Martinet HN888 that were dug in the mid 70’s.
