    Default Wadkin submarine

    A good few years ago I went to a local sawmill to get boards to build fencing.
    The mill was down a hill which was not that conducive to getting timber up and down.
    While there spotted some old stuff in a back room - lots of bits missing.
    There was a Wadkin CW (I think) and a Johnsered (sp) saw.
    Since that visit the land was expropriated for a dam.
    Those machines are now at least 50m under water and will remain there.
    A pity I did not know the value then and somehow got them out.
    Too late now.
