If it was closer I know the Viking would have liked to have gone and had a look. Interesting that sections of narrow gauge track were exposed as well. Just how many more such things are covered just waiting for nature to expose them.
I am reading 'The Real Dad's Army' War diaries of Colonel Rodney Foster at the moment and they set me thinking about just this subject, especially as he reports quite accurately the locations of aircraft being shot down.

In the early fifties whilst living in married quarters Tidworth my dear old dad discovered where a load of barrels of axle grease dating back to when horses were a regular feature of Army life had been buried. This stuff had solidified . We called it 'Duff' It chopped up fairly easily and burnt beautifully on the fire. As did the barrel staves.
This photo although taken much earlier is exactly as i remember them.

The narrow gauge railway that was exposed is a couple of miles from me and across the Tay from Barry Buddon ranges. Bad weather is always exposing WW2 ordnance and anti defences on the beaches. It is right beside RAF Leuchars.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
