HERE'S another photo from the collection of Echo photographer Harry Green.
On the right we can see cars being loaded onto cross Channel ferries at Weymouth Harbour in an unknown year.
It was the days before the roll on, roll off system on ferries and with some speculation about the cars' destination, Guernsey or France for the Le Mans race have been suggested. It's thought that the car o the ground is a Lotus 11 S2 and the car in the air is a Jaguar XKSS, the road version of the D Type.
On the left we have Harry's photo of construction at the Atomic Energy Establishment in Winfrith. This was the site for the new S.G.H.W. reactor. It is thought that this reactor was completed in 1967. Apparently the Duke of Edinburgh switched on the reactor in February 1968.
Thanks once again to Carole Dorran of Bygone Dorset for sharing this with us.
