I see the wee blue crane has gone, the jib was removed on Friday. The main mody was split into two parts & was sitting on two waggons yesterday afternoon. It appears to have been dismantled rather than torn down so maybe it will be used elsewhere?

Crusty was saying that there was a rumour it might be getting relocated to the new transport museum HH.

Yawn. Maybe you'll find something worth saying one day Mr Moto. Maybe one day.

Looks like the groundwork for the bridge is underway now and may even finish on time (May 2008)

Would it have been so hard for the architect to put a bit of thought into it.
Maybe a little more glamour than a glass shoebox.
I can just hear the calls to Cranstonhill Police station now...
They've nicked what....your Barracuda XZ12 is that a fancy japanese import then .....A What ..Speedboat....Och well they will soon bring it back hen as a burberry cap and shell suit are no match for the clyde coast weather.

I happened to be passing as they were taking the crane away on Saturday...

Images taken on a Mobile Phone, so not the best quality!

Excellent capture there, Osiris :wink:

Right place, right time.

The fact the crane was removed and not cut up on site might indicate a new lease of life sometime. New transport museum perhaps?
