SOME MAY REMEMBER THE G.M. 16mm FILM (AND ALSO THE REAL THING) OF THE BURNING BING IN GOREBRIDGE, SCOTLAND, CALLED "THE STONE THAT BURNS".

Well "White John" Robertson has come up with a photo of the site, showing a Tractor Shovel TS-24 unloading downhill on the Bing, a quite hairy driving application we would imagine !!

By the way for interest, we are advised the original film still exists, although a little worn now, but we are told it could be transferred to dvd if anybody was interested enough to want a copy.

Contact the Editors and we will pass on your interest to the party concerned.Gorebridge bing fade corrected
