Video showing SEN-009 clip from Ken Senar's film.   The clip is largely about the village of Borgentreich.   It starts with the "Borgentreich" village sign.   Then, `Sam' Weller and the new Accounts Officer (name forgotten) walk to the village.   Farming scenes along the road.   Farm dog.   Pigeons.   Horse and cart.   Village streets showing the icy state and some farm transport.   Borgentreich was entirely agricultural with almost no private cars at all.   It was a very poor area.   Local children sledging.   Snow plough at work back on camp.   Evidence of the thaw setting in.   Slush.   Finally, a car driving off.   Ken adds this latest up date about Borgentreich in Sep08: "Several 'Old Lags' from Borgers make regular visits there.   From what they have told me I surmise that:   The main village road has been bypassed (route 241).   The Rathaus is now a national organ museum.   The old Married Quarters are occupied by locals (as one would expect).   The domestic site is still intact and is in use by some organisation or other but, I think, can be accessed, maybe with permission.   The old radar site (in the field) is now agricultural.   There are some pubs with 'accommodation' in the village.   (The Schloss Hotel at Trendelburg used to be superb - we stayed there many years ago).   The Rotor site at Auenhausen (to the north) is a bit of a mystery.   It may still be in use, yet others say it is visitable, and yet others say it is some sort of museum.   In honesty, I can't figure out the truth about it".

There is no sound with this clip.   This clip runs for 2 mins and 48 secs.
