Does anyone know if the IR speed camera south of Sandy on the A1 southbound is working?

Its in the 70mph zone between the end of the 50mph limit through Sandy and the next roundabout. Gave me the shock of my life as I went flying past it.

If it's the one i'm thinking of its just before a footbridge that goes over the A1 at Beeston. That camera is often turned around to face the other direction but I have never seen it flash yet and several cars have overtaken me doing well above the limit there. Not really much help there am I?

No sorry the camera was south of Beeston on the National speed limit section on the southbound carriageway before the Roundabout with the Sainsbury supermarket next to it. I know about the Beeston and Sandy ones, both being in 50mph limits. This one was completely new to me.

The camera itself was facing me, from the left hand verge. I saw it with plenty of time but was so surprised not having seen it before I just sailed past it with hardly lifting. Must have looked a treat on the photo (if there is one), with me gawping like a idiot sailing past at 85-90mph.
