BEFORE AFTER A/380
Print No.
NIGHT PHOTO EVIDENCE
A fire track at this point was seen
burning at 21.42 and again at 22.32 with about
the same intensity. Occasionally on the night
photographs it disappears. This may be due to
the effect of drifting smoke.
Q. PATTERN SHOP
25 Two sheds appear to have been gutted by fire.
The same damage soon on an oblique photograph. 3/13
26 The site of a H.E. incident at the Eastern section Item 3
of the Pattern Shop. A small building has collapsed and
much damage has been done by blast and falling debris.
The damage of the Pattern Shop is seen more 1/15
clearly on two oblique views. Item 4
R. ENGINE SHOPS 3/13
Item 4
27 All the shops appear to have been damaged
severly, practically none of the roofing remaining
intact.
28 An area of extensive destruction caused by H.E.
probably during the progress of a fire.
29 Two other severely damaaged incidents in the area.
A low oblique showing the intensity of the damage to 1/15
the Engine Shops. Item 5.
The two severely damaged points referred 1/15
to above which are typical of H.E. incidents. Item 6.
NIGHT PHOTO EVIDENCE
Large volumes of smoke were seen drifting from
approximately this point on night photos, after 22.15 hrs.
S. THE METAL STORES
30. While the roof appearrs to have been severely
damaged, the girder structure is intact and rigid. It is
considered that the damage here is not as severe as
elsewhere, and it has been caused by blast. The contents
of the sheds should not be of an easily destructible nature.
T. POWER STATION
31. Severe damage is apparent to the Power Station.
There are one or two large holes in the roof. The frame of
the buildings appears intact and there are not definite signs
of charring. The damage is probably due to neighbouring blast.
The two chimney stacks are still standing
