Cheap Chinook hire

[porky]

Tired of dragging brash, and all those heavy logs?

I've finally bought a cheap Chinook off Ebay. Its got a few oil leaks here and there but nothing I cant fix I'm sure. Will be hiring it out soon, with or without driver. Costs will be about £8000 per hour, I reckon. Operators will need BS30 & BS31.

I know loads of folk who have got all the BS tickets. Most of the time they are 50% cheaper than everyone else!

Any one know Keith Yates from Somerset way? He had to remove a wind blown tree from a house and I think the story goes that a crane couldn't fit down the lanes so the insurance company paid the RAF to come out with a Chinook.

Keith climbed the tree attached the strop / chain from the hovering Chinook then climbed down and cut the stem from the root plate.

The Chinook then lifted the tree away from the house and laid it down in a neighbours field.

I watched the video when I was at Merrist Wood. They still have it, just ask at the library.
