Hi innes, yes i did know gerry well , he was my plant manager. nice bloke but could have a bit of a temper sometimes!
and as for the old girls, machinery just isn`t build to last nowadays , those girls were built by Mc Graths and built to last but saying that there's not much high demo work going on so i think they`ve been parked up for a while.
