As promised a few more snaps of Bethesda,

First up, D8T on tip duties,

Next, a snap of the job and an eyesight test.... starting from the bottom, we have a Cat 336DLME, a BELL B40D, a Volvo !40D converted to a water pig, a drill rig Sandvik, (ta Argie!), another 336DL and just disapearing over the hill a komatsu HM400.
