Thanks but to be fair the kudos goes to fb and Bigjobs - they had the arduous task of hoiking me up and over to get in

I'm new to this site and still finding my feet, one way being looking at other reports. That's how I ended up looking at this one. The power station is (was) right next to where my partner grew up so I have been used to seeing it for many years. Last year we happened to be there the week before the steel frame was demolished, those being the first two pictures. A few years earlier I grabbed some aerial shots from one of my models. It was decommissioned by then so no particular security issues. I wouldn't try that at Torness though.
