Balmae

Just found some info on them playground Daimlers, seems they were saved after all. cheers http://www.daimler-fighting-vehicles.co.uk/page36.html

Adrian touched on this with some great info earlier in the thread. Cheers

Thanks again for that, will check that book out, probably one of my favourite wrecks on the site and still fairly intact inside also. Not likely to be any generations for thousands of years!

No problem, iv'e enjoyed documenting them and finding out snippets of info on each. Anymore info greatly received. Challenger is correct with his explanation of the controlled impact areas. Fortunately the Tortoise is now exempt from targeting, i'm lead to believe. Couple of questions from myself if i may: Am i right in thinking the conqueror is an early model also that has had a a different turret fitted at a later date? The conflicting hull and turret FV numbers got me thinking. What type of variation is the Comet no 27? Cheers!

That concludes the visible range wrecks for Kirkcudbright although i am informed there are also two Daimlers and one Churchill buried in gorse and undergrowth in one of the controlled impact areas that i am not able to gain access too. Cheers!

Kirkcudbright No 28. Comet

Kirkcudbright No 27. Comet variant?

If there was one on site it is no longer there!

Kirkcudbright No 26. Prototype dummy for first Airdrop trials, Project Prodigal : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FV4401_Contentious

Kirkcudbright No 25. Comet

Some excellent info there fellas, anymore greatly appreciated on any of the wrecks. Balmae cottage and walled garden are still there and kept maintained due to an agreement it would be handed back to the original owner if ever the site was sold off. A lot of the old buildings have since been demolished. Still a few more wrecks to come. Cheers!
