I had to stand there and watch while they gas axed them. still hurts and genuinely makes me a sad to think nothing was salvaged at all.
I had one last go at trying to save something yesterday but the door was definitely slammed shut in my face. so it's a done deal they are now gone for good.
there was a wartime square door bridgelayer which was particularly interesting because it hadn't been reworked with the cones over the armour bolts, it was also one of only two surviving examples. the twin ark was the only surviving example of the type and that is also gone.
