I bulk loaded some HP5 film last autumn, and seem to have scratched most of it somehow.
This subject matter hides the damage quite well.

Not a remarkable image, but one which should not have survived.
A result of removing the baseplate to unload the film before it was rewound.
Then, having decided to process the film anyway, using old Aculux3 to see if it was still useable.
It wasn't. The film is underprocessed by about 3 stops I guess.
