Pictured outside my house in Oxford sometime in the early 80s, the crane was being delivered to a site opposite at the Brooks University.

Carpenters of Crudwell have one of their old F10 sitting out at the back of the yard wasting away, looks a bit of a mess but definitely saveable, assuming they’re willing to part with it.

Funnily enough, when I was at BOC in Warrington about 1990-1991 ish, he used to do one of the trunks up to M&S ■■■■■■■■■■■■ I think he had a contract with a company called Biggar Beef and I know he used to deliver clothing and denims for FalmersJeans who I think are (or were) in ■■■■■■■ (and to my knowledge he is still operating)
