Its a shame the 'Old CMP' site is not working. These pictures would be a great addition to the variants for all to see.

Regards,

There was also a thread on the old Network54 MLU site that had a lot of pics, that is also sadly lost too.

Laurie's is a perfect example. It is a wartime built crane, and quite different to the known pictures. However, it is the 3 ton W9 model for an International Harvester tractor, that has been fitted to a Blitz post-war by an unknown modifier. The wartime pictures are of a 5 ton crane. It demonstrates that different crane models do display different features for different weight ratings even in the same time period.
