when McAlpines put the gas pipeline through this area in the '70,s, they had multiple D8,s and a D9 with 4 Lincoln Bullets mounted on each of them ... crossing Llangynidr moor they left 3 or more D8s up there - when one got bogged, there'd be a frantic rush, to cut off as much kit as they could, before it disappeared -- completely
the reason I am aware of this is mother kept a guest house in the '70,s and aside from a few Canadian welders staying we also had the site radio controller - fella called Eric Mann, from Totness and he would regale us with tails of the days shenanigans
