Green 205

The site is / was G205, the PVCP at Rosscor Viaduct. That’s Slavin Parish Church on the main EKN - Belleek road. Just west of it a roadside PVCP compound controlled the T junction leading to the viaduct and, apart from the helipad, the sole remaining reminder of the military presence is a single Bailey span at the north end of Rosscor.

Still in use and a tribute to the Royal Engineers who erected it to re-open the route in the early 1980s, I think they’d explosively demolished the pre-cast concrete original a few years earlier as it was regarded as a PIRA rat-run, but others can possibly confirm that? I did see a pair of 72 Sqn Wessex on the Angelo – Rosscor resupply tasking in July 1986. That's why I'd wondered if Dundiggin knew it?
