I managed to salvage these from my backup hard drive, but will have to hunt for the details and will post them soon.









There is more but I was on my way out to the far coast so only had limited time, I may try and get up there again in the summer.

Interesting.

I haven't trawled my usual wreck info sites, or even looked at my books yet, but there don't seem to be any generalised records referring to this.

I'm trying to clear up some backlog, so am forcing myself not to take off on a tangent an look just now, but should manage by the weekend.

Trouble with the book is that the the records it has are almost in random order, and the place names can vary depending on who you speak to, so it is very trying to spot correlation between the printed records and reports like this. Again, it uses British Grid, which is hopeless for trying to spot similar locations, trying to eyeball matches between 4, 6, 8, and 10 digit numbers which are actuall 2, 3, 4, or 5 digit pairs strung together takes an immense amount of concentration, and repeated tries to avoid missing the pair you're trying to match.

lat/lon is so much easier on the eye, and only needs a best match of each co-ordinate from left to right, and they're not usually all string together as single string either.

I'll let you know if anything does/doesn't match, and hold off with promoting some pics to the Main Page.
