I'm not sure if that's where I'm thinking or not haha! Sounds like it might be worth a look anyway! Is Schots on the same site or a different one?

Are you sure about this? On the German forum they say it's an ex-Felbermayr crane. The Mexico crane had fleetnumber 2511 when it was still here at Sarens NL, can't imagine that they change fleetnumbers. Here's my avatar in large once more, this is the crane that went to Mexico.

Maybe I was told wrong but who cares?  The schot crane is on a different site back towards Catthorpe. The LG is just off the Crick junction of the M1. It's a new Farm. Just two turbines going up. And number two Is half way done mate.

All is clear now about the Sarens LG 1550! As said on the German forum, the crane with the fleetnumber 2176 is the now ex-red-yellow ex-W&F crane. This crane also went to Mexico, next to the 2511. So we got 2 LG 1550's now in full Sarens colours

Just found out and realized that I have been misinterpretating the http://www.vertikal.net/en/news/story/15045/ from the start. Convinced as I was that there was only one LG 1550 in full Sarens colours, the 2511. It wasn't the 2511 at all in the Mexico accident, it was the 2176! How could I know that they had repainted the red-yellow crane already then... But thanks to someone persisting on the German forum, I looked at the Vertikal.net pictures again, compared to your new pictures and it became obvious. The size of the Sarens logo on the front cabin... the striping on the outriggers... I have been blind

Nice job Jack. And yes I'd also love to see a 1:50 model of this.

You haven't helped your cause with these photos either. All play and no work!
I'd love to see the TC in person. Would almost be worth the trip to Canary Wharf but I doubt you'd get anywhere near it.

My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts! "You spend all week with cranes!" I'm sure it would be impressive in the big smoke. I regret not going to see it when it was maxed out for the helicopter tower crane removal.
