A day out to take my mother to the coast allowed me to have have a look at the Bae Systems gate guards at Samlesbury~Lancs.

Been wanting to do that for a while, so as it’s only a short detour from the M6 before continuing on the Blackpool, today was ideal, apart from the dull conditions.

So a quick look at Blackpool Lancs, as I wanted one item on the dump and I was hoping for a few bits more, which I did see.

Blackpool Lancs (North Promenade)
As I dropped off my mother, I was surprised to find the following.
I imagine that this is a BAPC, however I have no notes about what it may be whilst it is wearing W3442 and marked W3442 / D-FY
On the roundabout at Gynn Square, the Northern point of the promenade.
