Fairburn Crane

Post by StoneRoad »

Hello there,

I hope that this is posted to the right place, if not please can you forward it to the appropriate section.

I have just been watching a programme from the "Massive Machines" series with Chris Barrie.

This one featured cranes. The Fairburn Crane from Bristol was used to demonstrate the principles involved. One of the stills showed the Fairburn crane lifting a lifeboat, which could have been an "Oakley" class boat.
I was wondering if anybody has a copy of the image used, and if so how I could get a copy?

Incidentally, this would tie in several interests of mine in one go.
I am a Bristolian by birth, I am interested in steam technology (and my father worked at Stoddart & Pitts for a while, I think about the time I was born, but I'm not sure of the exact dates) I am also very interested in lifeboats (both historically and currently I fundraise for the RNLI).

Thanks in anticipation
