I worked for F.P MC Cann on a placement year from University and when I used to visit head office there was a rope digger which had been restored, I am not too sure of the make but I think it could be the Priestman Panther which was mentioned in the report, Always meant to get a closer look at it but never got the chance! It sits near the gate of the Quarry I wonder does anyone have any pictures of it

This was taken outside Stormont Parliament building when we unveiled the Northern Ireland Finance Minister -Sammy Wilson. We had a great day and around 150 people turned out to see it. Classic Plant and Machinery have it on their front cover and a feature article covering the full restoration of the machine along with the history of Inchgreen which I have researched and have included in the 6 page article.

Now I have a mental image of a government minister being debagged. Where was that brain bleach again?

no these are really rare and really pleased to have won them on eBay, and looking forward to getting them later this week.

Does anyone have any other Inchgreen brochures as I am really interested to know how many different ones they produced?
