: : hi to all
: : some years ago myself and another had a meeting with the
: e
: : x -RAF Corparal who was reponsible for burying 4 merlin
: en
: : gines,2 griffon ,1 bristol hercules and a napier sabre.
: : He still had in his possession the air ministry order st
: at
: : ing what he had to arrange,how to dispose etc etc,this w
: e
: : were shown and was dated 1948.
: : After a series of meetings when he was convinced that we
: w
: : ere genuine he then proceeded to show us where the engin
: es
: : were buried also along this site was a fuselage that ha
: d
: : been removed from the factory and he told us that it had
: b
: : een damaged so was of no further use to the RAF.
: : I researched the area using RAF photo reconn photo's and
: i
: : n one of them showed the area of the pit and even though
: i
: : t had been taken 3 years after the burying of the engine
: s
: : the pit showed up very well,40 yrs later nothing had rea
: ll
: : y grown over the site and after a soil sample had been t
: ak
: : en and other tests it was safely assumed something of a
: fu
: : el and oil based item or items were there.
: : We knew that they were about 15 ft down and also reading
: s
: : from the detector also gave us hope on the fuselage site
: ,n
: : ow it was all in the hands of the council legal dept.
: : after about 2 yrs it was all ready to be signed and seal
: ed
: : ,everybody was happy etc until the castle vale trust was
: f
: : ormed then it all went pear shaped.
: : We then had to start all over again with meetings with t
: he
: : trusts executives,showing them the site,all the finding
: s
: : etc this went on for just over a year and was led to bel
: ie
: : ve all was going to go ahead as planned when we were the
: n
: : to told the housing trust had decided that the engines w
: er
: : e of historical intrest to the localilty,and worth a lot
: m
: : ore in financial gain to the community,so they themselve
: s
: : were going to dig them up .
: : Despite them being told that the engines being buried fo
: r
: : so long and that even a representative from rolls royce
: ha
: : d stated that in his personnel view he doubted that they
: w
: : ould ever be of any use other than static due to the typ
: e
: : of surrounding soil the trust was still of the stupid th
: ou
: : ght they could sell the engines for around ?100,000 each
: !!
: : .
: : Unfortunatly they are still there rotting away because o
: f
: : thwe decision made by 2 very stupid and money grabbing
: id
: : iots who only saw pound signs and looked as far as the e
: nd
: : of their dicks.
: : I hope the above will help with your questions about the
: r
: : umours of the buried treasures of castle bromwich.
: : I personnly know and have been given proof of 4 sites on
: t
: : he old airfield and 2 in the factory area.
: : : Hi Cees,
: : : I live 4 miles from the site, and the story is true to
: a
: : c
: : : ertain extent. Birmingham council are aware of materia
