Certainly something very nostalgic about it compared to today's sterile sites. :thumbup:

Last knockings of the LAD cab. Apparently chosen by some not just on cost but less easily damaged on site work.

Made me smile Pete; but perhaps a sad reflection on what the industry has since become, I just love these photos from the good old days when many things were better than they are today. :thumbup:

Pete, I always thought that the Marshall was the six wheeler? Nice Hy-mac 880 in the first photo with a short dipper arm on it. :thumbup: And a 580C in the second pic.

The lady driver in the first four photos would have been quite novel for that time period; last two pics show a Hy-mac 590. :thumbup:
