Dambusters' dam

Fixed the mistake regarding the Nant-Y-Gro dam - this was used by Barnes Wallis as a testing ground for a smaller version of his "bouncing bomb", which was suspended against the dam face on the water side (rather than being fired along the reservoir or dropped by aeroplane).

Nant Y Gro was intended as a reservoir to supply the village built for the workmen building the Elan Valley reservoirs - as the original project had been completed by WW2 Nant Y Gro was surplus to requirements and therefore ideally suited to Barnes Wallis' requirements. If travelling along the Elan Valley by car from Rhayader, you can just catch a glimpse of the remains shortly after passing the Caban Coch dam (the first one, above the visitors centre). I won't advocate attempting to drive along there while looking out of the side window as it's a narrow road with a rockface on one side and a deep reservoir on the other, but if your passenger looks out across the reservoir they'll see a small inlet on the far side, with ample tree cover. That's the site of the Nant Y Gro dam, and with a suitable zoom lens or spotting scope you can just about see the remains of the wall.

Fair use rationale for Image:Elan Valley Village.JPG

Image:Elan Valley Village.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Elan Aqueduct route

Anyone fancy plotting the route of the Elan Aqueduct as a series of PoIs? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 15:12, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
