Jack,
Any idea where WM O'Briens bought their LG 1550 ? It looks a bit like a KR Wind livery. Great pics. TFS

Cheers Paul 😊 I'd heard the crane was in Leicester and I was up the road and saw signs for a bridge closed for replacement works! And bingo 😊

By chance I caught Baldwins LTM 1350-6.1 rigging up with luffer to dismantle a tower crane














The crane I was originally going to see was this LTM 1500-8.1 erecting a tower crane
