Nacelles and blades being delivered first. You'd think it would be tower sections 1st.

Great frontline photos Steve  I must say picture 8 looking from back on to the three blade loads is very impressive.

It is too bad the United States has so many whiners and restrictions on these things yet the government keeps telling us to look for better, greener ways to get off foreign oil!!
I know that the Northeast area of the US is going to be hurting before long as New York has essentially shut down gas drilling for another 2 years which the gas companies have already said if they don't let us start drilling we will never drill in NY. Pennsylvania has had wells drilled and even though some claim their water was harmed it was very few.
I guess the only thing keeping this technology out of the US is the oil companies and their owners like the former presidents Bush (their Texas oil barons).
Keep the snaps coming birdman, they are great and your so lucky to have one so close too!!!!

I don't want to be someone who spreads sh*t or rumours but apparently the LG on this site has collapsed?

That seems to be the case Jack, though collapsed might be an exaggeration! Fell over sideways is what I heard.
Don't think anyone was hurt and cause as yet unkown.

I said collapse because I want sure of the actual nature of the accident. Just pride hurt apparently.

Hi Guys, As most of you are aware the LG1750 at the wind farm site has gone over, not sure of the reason why, but ground conditions are not the best the area around here is mainly moss and peat bogs. As far as I can work out they were transferring the LG1750 to the crane pad for the second turbine, the boom was off, all ballast removed, but crane superstructure was still on the carrier, not sure if ground conditions gave way or operator error I would like to say it was caused by poor ground conditions, but we will have to wait and see, and I hope that nobody was hurt. Not the best photo as I am about 300 meters away and have had to enlarge and crop, but it does show that it went over on it's side while transfering to the other crane pad  Sad day for all concerned hope they get it sorted soon  Steve.
