catkom3 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Wonder if that was the same one that featured in "Open all Hours" with Ronnie Barker and David Jason,a lot of which was filmed in Doncaster, Regards Joe, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Sometimes we get asked to recovery the most unusual "vehicles", this one slipped off the end of the runway at Liverpool airport You should have heard the panic in our office when Liverpool airport rang and said, "we have had a plane crash, can you come and recover it please" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Never a dull moment! Reminds me of Alcock & Brown - ended up in a bog like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 God, I bet the office turned into a hornets nest didn't it, Mike?! Everyday's a new day at Hough Green by the looks of it. Every time Sally or Lynn mention a crash in the north west, I think of you guys. Oh are you watching Winter Road Rescue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Looks like such a great job Mike, the photo of the pane on take off is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 I haven't see that one Tris, I didn't watch Cop shows when I was in the Force and I can't really see myself watching a programme about recoveries, too much of a busman's holiday, I like to come home and forget the day job if I can, just come on FTF and view tractor porn!

Deere-est Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I end up watching stuff like that if it is on else TV is a complete bore with the stuff on it nowadays. That said, I rarely watch Countryfile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally prefer the other type of porn, but whatever floats your boat I suppose, have to say there's some quite impressive rigs at your work, don't see many that size around my neck of the woods, winter road rescue, quite a good watch aswell, love seeing the boys up in the real roads of Scotland clearing snow with there backhoes, clearing snows difficult enough without having miles of snow upto 5 foot deep and having a massive drop down the side of the road, hold my hat off to the old boys in there diggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Our mission for today To be continued....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That in theory should be a relatively easy one Mike with a couple of wreckers max.... and the road closed... but things can go wrong.....anyway I look forward to seeing the photos of the recovery.

Deere-est Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Depends if it needs unloading first, Bill. Last thing anyone wants is the load coming out the side when it comes over on to its wheels again. Still, from what we've seen of Hough Green I'd say they are more than geared up to sort this job out without any fuss. Looks like a first class outfit. Handy number plate for the company too.

robbo Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 If you are on the M6 on the Cheshire lancashire border this morning you may be slightly delayed, at least until we manage to get it upright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Is that the 4 lorry, 1 van and a car one they keep giving out then mike ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 No that one is further North in Cumbria, just out of our area at junction 36. This one is between 22 and 21a southbound M6. Not a good day to be on the M6 today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Another unusual one today. This was hitched to a tractor unit and had a load lifted onto the front end. The driver then unhitched to go for his lunch and the weight of the load bent the front of the trailer, maybe he shouldn't have put 20 tonnes at the headboard end!! And then just because they were parked up together in the yard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF-ROB Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Poor old Scania looks like it was a straw lorry with that part over the top of the cab all that can be done now is get the burners out and cut the cab off it and turn it into a nice trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
