This is Flixborough Wharf .half a mile from the Nypro Site..its the River Trent which is tidal..a barge was comandeered to act as a pontoon for featherweight pumps to be set up on in the river..at which point a 'senior ossifer' asked what happens when the tide goes out ...will the suction still reach ? DOH !!
