For some time after the Vulcan landed at Sunderland, by various means we made the APU made operational.
Has it been considered to get the APU running again?
From a distance the the APU sounded like a Olympus at idle speed.

Very enjoyable realistic film, spoilt by the almost constant background music, which at times was too loud, difficult to clearly hear the dialogue & the sound of Merlin engines!

Another reason to visit, happy memories when I worked with the National Coal Board at Fishburn Colliery & Coke works.

Based on my engineering experience, the wheels & tyres were used on a dump truck or earthmoving truck on an open cast mining or large construction site

I will post a photograph next week

Several years ago I visited the Lennoxlove site (accompanied by the Duke of Hamilton) no depressions, no bits & pieces were visible. Local knowledge remembered that at the end of the war “complete big & small aircraft with 2 engines” were parked around the site. On a return visit these were identified from photos as Wellington, Mosquito or Whirlwind or Welkin. The aircraft were broken up on site and the remains taken way on trucks, there was a thought that the remains were taken to the MU at Carluke South Lanarkshire, this site was cleared many years ago, what remained was taken to a Contractors yard in Biggar South Lanarkshire. By chance I was at this yard on business about 10 years ago, whilst talking about something else I was told that 8 skips full of aircraft seats, wheels, “glass things” (probably canopies, windows) small & large panels had been taken away 2 months before my visit to be scrapped, following this I went to the local scrapyard to be told that they remembered the “aircraft bits” & everything had been crushed.

When I worked in India in the late 90s, several of this type of truck were still used by local hauliers in Durgapur, West Bengal

Douglas, Scotland

63 MU was based at RAF Carluke, a large hanger & storage area was located on Airdrie Road Carluke, the hanger may been demolished recently.
Several years I was told that skips full of aircraft parts from Carluke (large metal sections, seats, canopies) were in a contractors yard in Biggar (quite near to Carluke),all were scrapped (where??), I was given a home made trolley which had been used in the yard for many years, the wheels had 5 cut outs & the hubs had traces of white paint, the hubs were marked AH2061 Issue 26, possible Mk1 /Mk5 Spitfire?
Douglas is near to to Carluke/Biggar, It is possible that parts were buried in the area, the metal detector is ready!!
