Driving down the M1 recently, I noticed what appears to be a large crawler crane with luffing jib at Ratcliffe on Soar Power Station. The jib towers above the cooling towers and is not far short off the height of the main chimney. Anyone know what make and model it is

Yes, it's the PTR, it is going to be there for a while. I'm having a site visit there next year.
