Though old girls those cranes.. A guy could toss the computer out the window and still run the crane..

Thanks for posting , as I don"t think Krupp built all that many of these cranes.

Hi GusO
Sorry I didn't reply straight away I have been sorting through some old paper work.
The crane arrived in Western Australia in January 1991 and as far as I can tell the last photos I took were in 1999.
Any one know what happened to the crane, I rember seeing a photo on the net of it erecting windmills in the eastern states?
Regards Mark

Justin I think only 5 were made, one went to van Driessche in Belgium, one to The UK (Sparrows), one to Johnston in South Africa and 2 to Germany. kerst
