Great to see inside her after all these years, look forward to the move and seeing her restoration!

Fantastic video very nostalgic for me used to play her as a child alot of good nooks and crannies long tunnels. Will have to come and have a drive up to say hi. It is fantastic to see Fort Paull being brought back to life. I used to live just down the road and hopefully will put Paull back on the map too. Fantastic work to all involved at Snaith Museum, Saving The Blackburn Beverley and Fort Paull. Your all doing amazing work 🥰 keep it going x Looking forward to seeing you in the future 🥰x

Before fort paull opened to public .the restoring of it was done by work experience teams .i was there about 24 and became to ill to work .

[@beardedbodger]

Sorry to hear that, hope you are back on form now! It might be worth dropping Solway Aviation museum a line to let them know you worked in her. Any information is welcomed by them. There’s a link in the description or they are on Facebook let them know I sent you.

[@beardedbodger]

Back doors are safe, there is t much left to be honest, the rail carriage is still there, and the two nicks that are now in charge of the fort are in contact with the owners family
