Well spotted, Bryan. Shame it's not your Pickering crane up and running!

I recognise the paint job, which I should do as I put in something like a thousand hours on it, stripping, derusting and repainting! Yes, it's MP3, the Nene Valley Railway's 1931 Ransomes & Rapier 40-tonner.

The picture was taken on 19th January when we were lifting the 25-ton boiler from "92 Squadron". Richard Busby (standing on the relieving bogie) was banksman, David O'Connell was driving and I was on the groundwork.

Lettering the crane remains to be done, by signwriting rather than transfers if we can find a capable volunteer.
