The Maple and the Matador

[John Hancock]

was up in worcester over the weekend.. has the redicuosly high river caused you many problems john?

loverly pictures mate.. and top job... keep them coming

 

Yes, its made a right mess of the riverside mate, the Maple blew over on the Thursday, flooded on the Friday, then that was it for about a week - couldn’t get to it as the path was under water!

Good pics John...you have the eye and I don't say that lightly.

 

You'll find AT's more chilled these days...everyone's being nice to each other for some reason:001_smile:

 

Always good to have someone pop back in after a rest:thumbup1:

Cheers for the comments guys and the warm welcome back, pictures could have been a lot better as I don’t take the proper camera into work anymore, mainly as promoting the team and what we do was banned by senior management. These were taken with an old Nikon I haven’t used for years, came out alright in the end...

 

Thats miserable :thumbdown:

 

still great pics though :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

The black and white on with the aec in the back ground is very artistic, good stuff.

Cracking shots, really catch the mood, quality as usual John.

"MEWP or Matador, the Matador won"

 

Matadors always win!

 

Yours has body panels, air in the tyres and everything!

The batteries fell off ours and got run over so it's a bit out of action at the mo:lol:

Had one of theirs pull a 13ton 360 out that I had got stuck when I lost my temper with a big stump while digging a deep ditch out 2 Big 4wd tractors wouldn't touch it but the matador pulled it with ease
