Heliminers aren’t the only exotic pieces of machinery in use below – here is an Auger Borer – pretty useful if you want to make a bang! Ian Benson tells us: ”The fitted the scroll borer to an old joy shuttle car chassis several of these were built in the underground workshops. They immediately were called Scud borers as the first Gulf war was underway at the time and named after Saddam Hussein’s ineffective Scud missiles. These borers were a little crude but they did the job apart from being a little unwieldy.”
