Zf012. The Courier-Journal, Louisville KY News Paper, Section 2, Saturday Morning 3rd Jan. 1942. This picture was provided by the Army Lt. Chester K. Britt Research Team

The people of the Army Lt. Chester K. Britt Research Team are:

First is Dave Britt, LTC USAF (Ret), son of Chester K Britt, Vickie Graham CMSGT USAF (Ret), and John Duresky. They all graduated from Logan High School in La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1967, and are doing it as a team. Chester Britt graduated from Logan in 1933 and his mother Grace in 1934. Dave wrote most of the manuscript, John editing what he wrote and doing most of the research, and Vickie is the final editor with about 20 years of professional writing in her resume, largely with Airman Magazine.

They are planning to write a book about Army Lt. Chester K. Britt soon!

Zf007. We are in the Fort Mills Engineering Ravine on Corregidor Island. Fort Mills did keep up with the times and built a modern Diesel driven Power Plant. This view is from the west. Immediately to the left in the bushes is a shortcut to the Fort Mills/Corregidor Southroad. I used it today when I came down from Morrison Hill today.

Zf006

Zf006. We are in the Fort Mills Engineering Ravine on Corregidor Island. Fort Mills did keep up with the times and built a modern Diesel driven Power Plant; this is inside the power plant. All the diesel engines and generators are gone but unfortunately the wild vegetation is taking over.

Zf005

Zf005. We are in the Fort Mills Engineering Ravine on Corregidor Island. Fort Mills did keep up with the times and built a modern Diesel driven Power Plant; this is the front side.

Zf004

Zf004. This is the front of the huge Fort Mills Coal fired Power Plant, Cold Storage and Ice Plant. The wild, uncontrolled vegetation is taking over.

Zf003

Zf003. This is the east end of the huge Fort Mills Coal fired Power Plant, Cold Storage and Ice Plant. The wild, uncontrolled vegetation is taking over.

Zf002

Zf002. This is the road to the engineering Ravine; there are not enough resources to sweep up the leaves any more. The Virus Lockdown and no visitors dried up the CFI resources.

Zf001

Zf001. I started walking from MacArthur Café to the Engineering Ravine. I came by here and noticed all the trolleys are left on the island by Sun Cruises Inc. They apparently belong to the Corregidor Foundation Inc (CFI) now. Not a good picture but the story is that the trolleys are still here and are being used by CFI. On the 16th Feb when Corregidor received its first visitors after the Virus Lockdown they were in use. Also during my visit here about 5 drivers from the Camaya Resort/Development arrived here for one day and night and practiced driving the trolleys and learned the visitor routes.

Zf009

Zf009. These two steel fuel tanks are now almost hidden by the wild vegetation. I assume they held diesel for the Fort Mills Diesel Power Plant. They are located, maybe 60 paces east of the diesel power plant. Between these fuel tanks and the diesel power plant is a shortcut to the Fort Mills/Corregidor Southroad. I used it today when I came down from Morrison Hill today.
