My father-in-law, who passed away last October worked for Derek Crouch and was responsible for bringing Big Geordie - the giant, 3,000-tonne dragline which was once the biggest machine of its kind in Western Europe. This worked on the open-cast coal mines in Northumberland. A Bucyrus Eries 65 - 65 being the bucket size in cubic yards.
I once had a photo of a 22 RB sitting in the bucket!
