Yes, although I ground to a quick halt when my shoulder went south. Username Gerald_Bostock.

Nah, the only database I have is the OS official one of CBMs,
It's each to their own on that site.
5 listed on that site for my town, OS database has 56:ohmy:
I've found 9 so far...20 odd still to check and the rest, either demolished or not found

Bobby, once I'm mobile again we'll have to do some BMOTA activations.
BMOTA, I like it..

I'm trying hard to get back into SOTA but too much going in here just now, soon.
Hoping to be in the Lakes at some point in the next four weeks but VHF only,
I can't be ersed with HF portable.

"What killed the cat" time.
How is it possible to visit a building, demolished in 1955, in 2007?

Some kind of time machine?

C'mon, 88 mph and a flux capacitor, yer sorted:okay:

Got one yesterday that isn't listed & another that's listed three times. Twice in the wrong place.
How'd you correct these?
If you had the OS locator, it could be checked against the old database,
I'm sure there will be some variation, I noted on one local one that some wag had mentioned the OS data had it 55 metres away...

The clue.. NBM BR SW SIDE RD
A high kerb, as seen, has hidden the mark.
Where's ma crow bar?^_^
