Suppose their is an argument that if you are sat bare headed in an open machine demolishing a five storey building you are going to be very careful !
Bit like Jeremy Clarkson's take o safety , the best car safety feature would be a big steel spike in the middle of the steering wheel !
Picture wise they were the best of the bunch but I will dig out some more .

Hi Jeremy,
Could just as easily have been a young Fred.
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
That's a great pic. brings back memories as I have worked on everything in that pic. The Smith crane with its Gardner 6LW up top and a second 6 LW or LX ? in the Foden carrier. I remember putting a pair of new pinion gears and bearings in the slew gearbox in one of them. They were the only crane/navy I knew to be driven through a two speed gearbox.
![Thumb up :thumbup:](./images/smilies/icon_b_thumbup.gif)
The Bedford 4x4 is an "S" Type, ( it's not an RL). Bedford 330 diesel or 300 petrol in them if I remember rightly, though we had one Bedford 4x4 fuel bowser on one job with a Leyland 375 in it.
![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
The Cat. "I thought."

Yes Fred indeed it could also have been a young Fred; would have loved to share some time with you on those machines but alas I was but a nipper.
