Northern Ireland ground crew!?

YRA - The soil was sandy and with deep grass and gorse bushes that then went into a pine forest mixed with birch trees - then more open deeper peat leading to the mountains.

Trees didn't survive - the pines 200 yards from the houses were just pushed down and became projectiles - The birch faired a bit better as they are less rigid, but it was as I say like a view from the somme when the winds went down. I wish I still had photographs of the devastation, but polaroids don't travel well.

300 / 400 miles an hour winds make me have the urge to get in a cave well back from the entrance.
