That is amazing! Good detective work that man.

 

Also pretty sobering to zoom out a bit, look at the percentage tree cover, then swim over to the UK and look at ours.

After the gales of 87 that hit East Anglia, the FC had a yard stuffed full of logs at Brandon which they couldn't shift very quickly and they had an irrigation system on that to prevent them from going bad.

I've been told some of them were as good after about 12 months as fresh felled timber. How true that is I dont know though.

 

Yes thats right Mike,I have it in the back of my mind that the FC also rolled an enormous amount of the '87 timber into a lake or reservoir and kept it in there for quite a spell to keep it fresh, that was over Brandon way too,cant exactly remember where though.
