They were small hand dug holes really rather than Quarries.The chap that tipped the engines from his horse and cart was the same chap that dug out the quarry for a shilling a tonne.He took Mike out (William Mike Brockway) out and pointed out the spot where the stuff was buried,I don`t know which paper covered the story but I can try and find out.Mike cleared out the shed which was mainly chairs and drawing boards,(he still has the a drawing board from there at home.He also,besides the cans of film,got numerous engine spares all new including Merlin stuff .pistons and con rods (which I`ve seen) He has his main interst in collecting tractors and just keeps the bits as ornaments.

further to my post regarding Baders crash, I mentioned that I knew a guy in the village that used to own Woodley airfield I caught up with William Brockway yesterday and over a beer he told me some interesting stories, one was that he bought the hut that was the old Miles aircraft drawing office for use as a building on his farm, the deal was he had to dispose of the contents himself he found lots of cans of 16mm development films some of which he still has, he loaned 3 of the best to a well known curator of a museum and never got them back, 1 of them was entitled ‘Aero van on skis’ shot in colour and sound at a snow covered Shoreham in 1947.
The other thing he told me was he located the quarry where Miles tipped all their engines, this was covered by the local newspaper but it was very quickly built on with housing.

Thanks for the gen. I`ve forwarded the details to his grandaughter who I was at college with.Another interesting connection is a chap who now lives in our small village used to apparently own Woodley aerodrome (sold for development now?)He had one of the largest collection of tractors in the country.
