Islam and the capitalist Christian west are on a collision course – another Crusade started with the Gulf War, and can only escalate the more nations we interfere with.
I wonder which side the British Muslim community will take up when the shi’ite really hits the fan?
What jubilation we experienced when the Arab Spring began. Democracy in action, we said – until Islamic fundamentalist parties won the elections. Oh – that wasn’t supposed to happen…

is that the path via the urqhuart route? I think I walked it once, and theres me thinking I had seen everything is the sick report still there and is it wartime period? theres a cool 1939 photo of the area showing the antitank blocks being installed by a vintage crane by 2 civilians, wish I still had the link for it
The road I usually take goes round the south part of Milltown airfield, and then shortly after that a left turn takes you right up to the woods.
I’m sure the sick report is from when the site was occupied by the army – it’s written in pencil onto the paint on the wall. The building is one set back from the beach towards the house, and is in excellent, unvandalised condition (or at least it was a year ago…), with interior paintwork (maybe white?) in very good condition. I did take loads of photos, but after so many clean operating system installs, I can’t find them.
I was very impressed with the condition of the camo paint on the outsides of some of the building too, like going back in a time machine…
Same thing happened down under in 2008…

There is also a public road which runs south of Milltown airfield, and this has a public side-road which takes you right to the forest just south of the quarry. It’s a pleasant short walk then to the gun battery.
My favourite find was in one of the buildings to the south of the gun positions. On one wall there is a sick parade report pencilled on the whitewashed walls, which says something like private so-and-so, corporal so-and-so, sergeant so-and-so AGAIN!
Very interesting – what gear do you need for those wavelengths?
Quite a few Wimpies crashed in and around Lossie during WW2 – one even crashed in the town…

large bullet casing (assuming aircraft one)
Saw lots of these 20mm shells intact around the Lossiemouth Skerries when scuba diving with seals in the 1980s – they came from a crashed Mossie.
I thought this was part of a nosecone or propellor engine part but I think it may be asbestos so I chucked this part away:
Could it be the Bakelite cover for a DF loop?
I’m sure I posted about that coastal gun battery, but now I can’t find the damned thing!
The Bristol Hercules had similar manifolds – Dallachy Beaufighter maybe?
There’s been some storms and very high tides around here recently – which beach were you at?
Two absolutely cracking pics of Banff airfield from a previous thread.
Can’t remember who first posted these, but whoever it was please let me know and i’ll happily give you the credit 🙂

That’ll be me then…;)
