The 2998gt ship Arklow Raven is loading scrap at the European Metal Recycling Irwell Park Wharf on the Manchester Ship Canal. Visible in the background are Barton Swing Aqueduct, Barton Swing Bridge and Barton High Level Bridge.

At the end of the long war of independence between Eritrea and Ethiopia vast quantities of wrecked military hardware littered the country. This was mostly gathered up and dumped in a vast scrapyard on the outskirts of Asmara the Eritrean capital. Here it will no doubt stay as moving it to where it could be melted down would be hopelessly uneconomic.

An interesting use for panels off a caravan at this Cumbrian farm. Farmers never throw anything away.
