Check  out my webste and I'll tell you a lot more about the boyhood of my generation; following diggers around the building sites as we rebuilt our town. I'll take you aboard a 22-RB standing behind the dirver as he places girderwork on the new M&S store in Oxfords Street in 1952. Great days. BOOTS had a steam derrick crane at the back with a 100 ft boom lifting sealing ta in a bucket. 'wow'! There's a lot more I can tell you especially when I take you along to THE RUSTON BUCYRUS FACTORY in Lincoln on a tour of the workshops and my apprenticeship.
