A Stork is airborn!

The crane driver from arrives to check all is prepared for the main engine lift out.
The main engine is ready to go!
In the meantime, Terry continues to cut the Bryan D down to deck level.
It's a family affair - an expectant crowd wait patiently for the crane to show.
Meanwhile young Matthew has been drafted in - the Bryan D's wheelhouse deck timbers - as good as new.
With light flashing the crane arrives....
and prepared for lifting.
Mav watches as one skip is dropped on the deck.
The for'ard chains are made fast to the engine.
Hard hats are donned....
and out the Stork comes...
across the deck....
across the quay....lined up ready to....

sit on blocks...
before shifting up the quay...
before the crane plays catch-up...
the engine un-hitched.....
crankcase view....
the crane driver leaps into action again...
view from the crane cab as Clive hitches up the engine for the next shift up the quay
AC Removals and Storage provided the crane hire on 01736 787268 or 07773 330302while Clive and Mav and helped finish the job with an interesting little dance routine...
Mav's boys are dwarfed by the enormous Stork main engine!
