robbo Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 I did find some pictures online of it before the accident but I can't remember where, I have got the details at work so I will post a link next week. I have painted out the signwriting to protect their anonymity though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Tris, I had painted out his name to protect his modesty especially as it was just outside their yard. Bob, he swerved to avoid a car that didn't stop and the load overbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The trailer I'D gave it away. You ought to see the modesty of hauliers being overlooked on the truck forums, Mike. This kind of stuff is a daily topic starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Now there are those that say a Duck likes water and that might well be true....... At the Albert Docks in Liverpool they have a small fleet of yellow Duckmarines that take visitors around the harbour and docks. However, over the weekend one of them decided to become a submersible much to the chagrin of the crew and passengers, thankfully no-one was hurt but it tokk a bit of extricating. First the news story http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-21990326 Then our efforts to get it out again, stand by your beds, here we come Divers attached the cables and then we winched it out And finally on dry land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
