Back to Jeeps. As a boy I used to live in South Devon.
I can well remember various Nissen type huts on Bovey Heath full of stores. I went inside one with my father & found boxes of mouldy leather items, holsters I think. But we just left them nobody seemed to think of stealing them or vandalising the huts. But there were stories that there were Jeeps in the area buried in the event of the invasion failing so that they could not be used by the Germans, but at the time nobody seemed much interested.
That must have been early-mid 1950s & I can remember we used to visit Slapton Sands & seeing the whole hillside devoid of greeness just burnt trees stumps.
