What a waste.
Coming back from some medical treatment today we passed by my local and decent metal scrap yard.
Stopping in the traffic I saw at least 2 lathes, 3 mills and a pile of vices in the yard and a host of other piles of workshop tools and machines.
Got Mrs Vark to swing round again and we pulled in and I asked if any was up for sale. After chatting with the duty yard manager I found out about the stuff.
As we talked I watched some one go to a lathe and attack it with a gas axe, another yard worker used a front loader to smash open a wooden create and a press was smashed out.
It turns out all the tools and machines were ex MOD, asked if they would sell me at least a vice, I was told.
“The contract states all material is to be rendered useless and not to be resold”
I was pointed out to 2 suites in the none ferrous shed with cameras and PDA recording stuff.
What a waste, it could of bean sold through the various outlets the MOD has.
Ok rant over.
