amazing brickwork

Mustard gas was not produced at a FFD. The vessicant was produced at Randle (Wigg Island) and shipped in special rail tankers to the FFD which had underground lead-lined storage tanks. When directed by higher authority they would have filled varios types of aerial bombs and spray apparatus which were kept in a Bonding building for at least 24 hours to ensure no leaks then shipped out to selected bomber squadrons. Mustard gas (actually a liquid) was not used by the British during WW2. It was held as a retaliation weapon if the Germans used chemical weapons against Britain. Ironically, unknown to Britain, the Germans had developed nerve gas (Tabun) a thousand times more potent. ThankfullIy it was never used against us.

Nice one lads 😊

What happened to the fragments of the bombs

I read the biography of Barnes Wallace and found it interesting

Did they make your mate Colin and his mate pay for the cart they broke? Railways change the landscape alot. 17:43in who was smoking.? People who take money trying to knock of historical structures, for developers to snap up and make more monete, and there'll be polyshituns involved. You can't go far wrong if your still in England 😉 m8. Nice walk m8s, keep up the good walks an stay vertical Eh!

Beeching and the govt of the time - criminal vandals - Yes, MOTHBALL the lines.... But to pull them up?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Wanton vandalism.

Well done, good to see you back.

Nice video guys 👌 The green colour is used alot is odonil, however the grren on the can is muted green its mixed with warm yellow to make as you correctly stated 'Olive Green' 👌 .. I missed that brick wall.. Good to now know what its purpose was 👌 thats interesting about the rail / pipe..

Cool spot Ian, Chris & Co 👍👍

That is awesome

Wow, that photograph is awesome It shows you that I love that

Hell yeah, that's awesome

I'm currently laid under my bed watching your presentation. If my siblings or my parents find out I'm watching this kind of 'filth' i will, for sure be the laughing stock of the village. There is in one location, close to the village, one longish tunnel in which a steam locomotive and tender/coal supply carriage still stay. The tunnel is well ventilated despite being easily accessible. There is little to no water or moisture present, and everything is in good condition.

Interesting, google satellite view shows no wagons there any more...

Stray American decided to subscribe, you have cool adventures, cool video, cool people. Have fun.

HE IS STILL INSIDE...huh? Who is still inside?

Living life on the "Edge"

Stray lost American here, do you wear a hardhat when in those tunnels? I would, just to be on the safe side if not.

The mortar with dates could be to show movement ie if the mortar cracks it will show that movement occurred after the date on the mortar .

The holes will be to stop water building up behind the tunnel sides and blowing out the brickwork .

Very interesting. Thanks!

Hiya Andy & Vicky 👋🏻👋🏻 Right at the beginning you asked if that plane was a Spitfire, well from my Airfix days as a kid, because of the curved wings at the rear of the wings it’s a Spitfire (also the big difference between a Spitfire & Hurricane is the canopy. The Spitfire has a “bubble” canopy, whilst the Hurricane has a more rectangle shape.) Very interesting place & information about the land girls, & wasn’t it only in recent years any surviving members were awarded a WW2 medal? I love the Euro Shuttle, that type of carriage you was on is what I drive my coach onto. It’s a bit of a faf as you have to point the front of the coach over the edge of the entry due the the steering wheels being behind the driver (the front overhang) & then swing it around to enter the carriage. Once straight you have to watch the wing mirrors in between the carriages as where the partition is can be a bit tight. Sometimes when loading it can take ages to drive in & it seems I’ve driven across lol. Looking forward to more adventures & soon I’ll be going to Germany with my work too. See ya soon 🇬🇧🫶🏻🇬🇧

75 metres at its deepest point

Many German heavy guns in WW2 used cased propellants, brass or steel, rather than bagged charges.

There's a Typhoon in the RAF Museum Hendon, also a foundation is restoring another to flyable condition - its serial is RB396.

it could be a community repair ,

So what happened in the end they just left you? Awesome looking place!

If the global warming ideas have any currency, aren't the authorities going to need to reopen all of these railways?

This is really interesting but you're getting very wet in the rain 😊

I know where there’s a tunnel filled in an not many people know about it in Barnsley near my house, it goes under road , am thinking about digging it out on sly an make a Secret entrance , nobody can see me it behind a big stone wall, it was for a old steam train that moved coal that went through and up towards Mapplewell

I'm sure others have explained - but the dated cement areas look to me like "tell-tales" and show if anny cracking is taking place. The date shows when the patch was made, and if the bricks have not moved, you can see how long the structure has remained stable. A common device on all brick-work where movement was suspected.

The machine after the thresher was a Choppy Cutter, that's what I know 'em by. It chopped wurzles, a type of turnip, to make 'em more palitable to feed livestock.

Dover is the gift that keeps on giving, in a good way. Ian and Chris do a wonderful job keeping a visual record of it. Construction seems a bit tidier than the usual on the other tunnels. I'd reckon the first room was used by people, given the breakers are on the far end and not at the entrance. You don't want to go near-by a medium tension rectifier to access the breakers. Pretty tight fit. Probably a service room for that tunnel section lighting and comms, but you know far more than I do. Glad to see Dave back on the channel. Missed his old-timer wit very much. A personal plus for me as a scale modeler is, I get to see the real deal through the lense of you cameras, folks. What the ground looks like. The vegetation. How it all changes during the season. It allows me to combine paint colours and adds that tiny little bit of uniqueness when you're building a diorama project, instead of the generic radioactive greens found in railway static grass. Anyway. I digress. Cheers.

You're correct, the Canadians captured Battery Todt after the breakout from Normandy.

Nice ❤

😎👍

Thanks Andy (& Vicky). Really interesting 👍🏼😁. Lots of stuff we never knew about the Women’s Land Army (and Le Shuttle 😊)

And thus the revamped motor home begins a new journey!

These are good (apart from the charging) for about a year, by that time it will be if lucky worth 50% of retail price, then it gets worse, the macmaster has had one it’s heavily featured on his channel.

Impressive , when are you getting one ? Have to be honest I am a bit of an traditionalist , miss the sound of the engine .

Remember going in this one back in the late 80’s with my mate,start of a long obsession with underground tunnels

Nice & dry in there. Good lads them IKS fellas.

Great video on that line and tunnels. What gives them the right to infill / the tunnel portal.

👍

Wow this is the exact same layout as I grew up in! We were based in Laarbruch as my dad was Flight Sargent on Buccaneers squadron. Two tour 71-74 and 76-79. I went to MAAS 1st school.

Are they Merlins ?

Yeah I know some people actually found the vertical video Heck I don't know much about this stuff I just kind of turn it sideways and shoot stuff for my channel. Maybe it's better I'm not sure. But I always enjoy your videos Thank you from way over here

Lived in Canberra Crescent between 1975-80 and spent many fun days at Manby and spending time in the Families Hall (or whatever it was called). Looks very different now (or at 2021).
