Seadog Posted 8 October , 2007 Share Posted 8 October , 2007 Definitely the Salient – Seen near Palingbeek ten days ago. One of many disturbed by drainage work. I would demand danger money to work in Flanders!. Before anyone asks, No I did not touch or consider bringing back as a memento. And I did not scrape the muck from the fuse. At all times I adhered to strict Health & Safety guidelines and wore a high Vis jacket plus hard hat and took the photo with a 500mm telephoto lens.
