Thank you so much Peter looks like he most probably is still down there in the estuary.His grandaughter only knew he was missing in action .

I think 109pff may have gathered by now that this is probably one of a long series of urban myths about buried / concealed caches of WW2 equipment.
It is just possible that one of them will turn up trumps one day, but I certainly wouldn’t place any money on it.
Meanwhile 109 – is your user name related to 109Sq?
Moggy
Hi Moggy yes my name is related to 109Sq.Looks like this is another myth like you say as an old railwayman I do know this happened in Northamptonshire near Ravenstone wood where the MOD had a place tho it was eventually taken out and stored at Cardington.:cool:
My Dad was an M/T Corporal at Little Staughton 🙂

A friend and I have collected several itens from a dump at Litte Staughton .with permision of course.We met some of the Vets a coulple of years ago and had drinks with them in Bedford as they told us a few stories .

It is a really great field to visit.
Last time I was there was on a veteran’s day. The BBMF did a couple of passes and I took the son of one of the vets for a quick circuit

How convinced are you by that unusual spelling of Roland?
Moggy

I used to go to cardington in the 50s to battle of Britain days .There was a barrage balloon with an old caravan attached to it and when taken up parachutist would jump out of it. I do remember one small airplane I believe it was an Auster. Inside one of the huge hangers was a balloon that took one person up to the top of the hanger my father strapped me in it and up I went
10year old magic day eh!
