Binbrook hill and the bomb trolley

Tim, Danny

We did find a bomb trolley, but did not dive upon Binbrook village. The trolley was on the salvage dispersal near the south end of the main runway which can still be seen on https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&authuser=0

The hill began at the Patch and ran down past the junction with Orford Rd. It was steep enough for the Bedford OE school bus to attain 50mph and the trolley would probably have been close behind it. Fortunately, it was about three-quarters of a mile from the salvage dump to top of the hill, too far for three little lads to haul the monster. Otherwise, Geriaviator would not have been posting here today.
