Back about 1986, we, being some of the staff from Limavady Borough Council had a Sperm (I believe) whale washed up on Benone Strand.

My boss recruited the RE bods from Ballykelly Camp.

My that was quite a Circus.

And yes squaddies with chainsaws featured.

As did humengeous 8 wheel drive lorries stranded on the Strand due to fuel stravation.

I still remember gagging 12 miles or so down the road, to eventually find a minute speck of rotten blubber on my toe-cap.

I was really really disappointed they did not blow it up as it lay alongside the Magilligan small arms ranges.

Ironically, Ross Smith who started this thread lives on the North Island now.

I hope the Maori Elders don't read it.

And he'd have been busy recently if he was still wielding the saw; been heaps of strandings here of late.

Takahiwai Ian.

Not good news about the strandings.

Do they know why?
