Mr Green the owner provided lifting equipment, a Caterpillar 235, 40 ton excavator- It was a good job we could operate it!
The engine had been subject to several annual coats of protective grease since it was taken out of service, some of which still remains.
On a previous visit, Molly had discussed with Mr Green that we had a friend in a similar situation to himself, only one leg. Mr Green was keen to know whether our friend was a left or right amputee, had they not been the same he was going to suggest they shared a pair of slippers!
