Army Half Track
devon caravan park, called sandy bay, this was in the seventies?
for years our family went to the same caravan park in devon, it was called sandy bay, there was a really good sandy beach, and loads of cliffs and rock pools to the left, with a shipwreck about a mile round the coast, there was an army rifle range at the top of the cliffs, and you had to walk down about half a mile of sandy track to get to the beach, the beach was usually covered in layers of seaweed and had loads of starfish and jellyfish everywhere.
we had brilliant holidays there and i've been trying ever since to find the place again.
i also remember a nearby smugglers cove on a shingle beach within walking distance, also with great rock pools.
i think it may have been near sidmouth, but every time i go there i am at a loss and can't find it.
i could obviously getting all confused and have melded a number of seperate destinations into one, but any help to find one, or all of them would be fantastic.
Try here.....

I went to uni down in Exmouth and Sandy Bay was def alive and kicking then! It might not be much like you remember it due to tourism now however:-(
I remember stories about a shipwreck in the area although couldn't tell you where it is and shingle beaches and rockpools definitely sound right for the area!!

Driving a WWII US Army halftrack
Why is it that half-tracks are no longer used in the U.S. army?
I heard that they were discontinued after World War2.
they were very heavy is one problem and the tracks were small so they really didnt offer a lot more in traction
as suspension technology has improved they are finding it easier to use tires theres not really any current armor aside from tanks that use tracks these days.. also tracks are difficult to repair quickly if a track blows off in no mans land you are almost better off abandoning the equipment. tires can be changed a lot easier and the thick rubber walls can be driven on if necessary

I'm a baby Boomer who was first introduced to tape recording at around age 8 when a neighbor brought his machine over to the house one evening. Clearly born a geek, I began reading about how recording to tape worked (and, ultimately, how phonograph records were made, how microphones worked and how radio was broadcast).
My parents bought me an inexpensive portable tape recorder than ran on two C batteries, I think, and which used 3-inch reels. This got me off and running and, in a short time, I read about and taught myself how to edit. In school I was introduced to the Wollensak. Made at that time by 3M, it was a workhorse. And built like a tank, it had great sound.
After graduating high school I got my first radio job, and I worked with Revox machines. I don't know the model number, but the machines sat upright and weren't at all easy to edit on. But I'd been editing at home for years already and when my next job came along in 1977, my skills were put to the test. It was a company that produced business communications, and I was Audio Producer. We had two early Otari machines, both MX-7000 (10.5-inch reels, 3.75/7.5/15 ips). One was a quarter-inch half-track and the other was a half-inch 4-track. I did most of my editing (speech and music) on the quarter-inch machine, and quickly became the guy with numerous pieces of tape of varying length hanging around my neck at any given time. I became a very adept editor and I regarded it as an art form. Friends and others would be in awe when I played an original recording followed by the edited version.
I still have my Teac A3300SX (10.5-inch reels, quarter-inch half-track (7.5/15 ips) and it's in excellent condition. And sealed in a plastic bag are two Editall splicing blocks, a 5-inch reel of paper leader tape, a roll of 3M splicing tape, and a couple of surgical razor blades. Oh, and I also have several reels of tape containing some favorite recordings, of course. And in my thirty-some years of editing, I never cut my fingers.
There is no doubt that my experience recording and physically cutting tape made my transition to digital recording and editing a breeze.
I wouldn't trade those years for anything.
