thanks for the info - how come you know so much about it all ?

there were a few of these in the one corridor...we didn't exactly linger in it.

We had been pondering a return but, much as part of me would quite like to, I think I shant push my luck .... probably

Sometimes, just sometimes, it's better to be well informed rather than ignorant. That's how I know so much.


Been very interested in this stuff since I heard about the folks over at Spodden Valley in Rochdale. I hadn't really thought, (besides knowing the cancer causing element) about it much before. It is seriously an interesting subject the T&N empire.

That may be a wise choice mate.

But that would only account for the white stuff in the polythene bags. What about the other blue/grey looking stuff? It's certainly not Kevlar or glass fibres as that's not the way you make/process those thing.

It's a combination of oil soaked glass strand and grey polyester type thread, They were running old skool looms weaving glass strand with stainless wire as the weft for use in heat-sheilds. The extraction system was shared between this and the ballistics section which was making stab vests from pre-woven fabrics.

It looks massive! Nice report.

It is quite sobering when you come across those red bags on a 'splore...
