Inchindown Fuel Oil Tanks

Permission visit to the 237m long Inchindown tanks hidden in the hill from the Nazis for WW2. They was used to store fuel safe from the German bombers and was last used to fuel some of the ships for the Falklands war in 1982. Since then they have been left empty and it now holds the record for the longest echo in the world.

 

It was quiet an experience to hear the echo inside the tank. The mark on the ceiling running the length of the tank is where they filled the 12m high tank to.

 

This was a permission visit and can easily be obtained by the group looking after them.
