Clearing the Moor

The MT section transported the Bomb Disposal men and their equipment over to the Fylingdales moors every day, down Lythe Bank, through Sandsend and Ruswarp.  Their job was to clear unexploded munitions and other objects that had been left over from when the Army used the area as a firing range with their tanks.  They were clearing the moor ahead of the contractors building RAF Fylingdales. The designated drivers stayed out on the moor with them.  At lunchtime a two ton Austin truck took hot meals out to the men.
