Hi Dylan; must say that I had heard that there would be no working plant field this year, I don't know if anybody else can confirm this? I won't be making the trip down there this year and have my hands full at the moment.

Fred,

I am so very sorry to hear this terrible news my condolences to you and your family at this sad time, life can be so very hard for all of us the best we mortals can do is share the good times with the bad and support each other where we can, you are in my thoughts at this time.

Photographed this little beauty today; very rare to find now but in good condition for her age and far too good to cut for scrap, one Hymac 580B and if you want her she's yours because its up for sale so just pm me.

Yes the W.H. Malcolm photo look at the boom fork ends on these 580C machines; this was the early design that gave trouble cracking.

They never used to bother stripping properties out in those days it was more of a case of just whack it down as quick as you can and clear the site; no recycling and also no asbestos survey!

Another super period photo :claphands: part of me wishes I could just 'step into it' because it brings back so many memories, not just how work on the high st was once done but seeing good old 'Woolworths' and a high st 'Currys' in the background makes me want to go back in time and have a good look...

Superb pics Steve the first two on the first lot show Hymac 880 machines and the 580 in the last photo on the first lot is very interesting in that somebody has stuck a 580C engine canopy on it.
