West Midlands- Kidderminster

Secret Rocket Testing Facility:West Midlands-Kidderminster: Keep Out Danger Sign
Rocket Testing Facility

A Remembrance Sunday out yesterday with Matt ZX and his Motley Crüe, as well as our mate Moustache Steve.

Turned a bit wet and windy towards the end of the day, but we had 100% success in finding trace evidence at the the three sites Matt had chosen, despite them all being well picked over by the usual magpies.

Passed this secret rocket testing facility, (now scarcely used) on the way. Security could be a bit tighter.

A nut from a Spitfire which crashed in Postensplain, Wyre Forest.

This is our first crash site for a female pilot.

Mrs Rosamund King Everard-Steenkamp was at the controls. We are told that her husband had himself previously died in an aviation accident. She may have been the first woman to fly a jet.
