Thanks for the ID, Richard!

Barry, yes it looks like a good sized crane for CMP restorations, it does however seem to be of the trailered type? I think one of the best tools to have nowadays is a forklift.

Hi, I have just joined. I am in Horncastle in Emgland, and have a few pieces of RAF kit.

I have an Ex RAF AEC Matador, an Ex RAF Thornycroft mighty Antar, paired with an ex RAF Dyson 50 Ton, 32 wheeled plant transporter trailer.

The Mighty Antar is ex RAF Airfield Construction Branch, and the trailer was bought by the RAF to move tracked vehicles and large Airfield construction equipment.

Default Welcome

Hi Mike

Great to have you (and your wife) here. What a collection! All you need now is something like a Tilly or Welbike to give scale to the big 'uns.
