The letters ADC stand for ‘Armaments Disposal Craft’. These post-war ex-LCT’s [Landing Craft Tank] vessels were run by the RASC but manned by civilian Merchant Navy personnel. In 1946, ‘ADC 527’ and ‘ADC 1272’ were running between SILLOTH on the NW English coast and CAIRNRYAN in Loch ryan, Scotland. Mostly they would dump their explosives in ‘Beaufort Dyke’ a deep ravine in the North Passage between Scotland and Ireland. In recent years fears have been expressed that too many explosives in the area are causing pollution of the waters May not have beeen a mine. AM CERTAIN THAT: I have seen a posting on the the present day risks posed by the massive armaments dump in Beaufort Dyke. Will check all and archives.
