It's o.k.... call off the hounds... the mystery has been solved.

 

Turns out that Mr Sylvatica was the gentleman on the end of the camera whilst i was on the end of the saw, therefore is well and trully entitled to post the pics.

 

And with that, i would like to offer my humble apologies to the person involved......

 

"Sorry Martin"

Happened nye eve 2007 at roughly 11pm, north of Peebles in the Scottish Borders. Family of four were in bed and was blowing like crazy outside, then SMASH!!! The 2nd floor window on the left had two young girls sleeping inside and a branch punctured the wall missing them by inches. Was a scary sight inside the house!!! We sorted out a 190tonne crane, took the tip off and then just lifted the rest off in one, 2hrs and we were done. Root plate was non existent! Also got to dismantle loads of neighbours trees as they were all concerned in might happen to them but still a sobering thought

 

Ouch. Looked like a windblown, having the rootplate still attached, but how horrific for those involved......
