Ted Walker's mighty F16 Lowloader carrying Mike Wilkinson's EX355 Excavator. When I worked for McAlpine Pipelines
at Atherton on the Mawdesley Warrington Pipeline I could hear the roar of it's engine heading down Atherlea Way from my
office a mile away, it sounded really sweet. Prior to Ted buying G751 XAC it was used in Norfolk by local plant hire firm
W.R Chapman & Son in connection with their plant hire business, it also used to haul sugar beet into BSC Saddlebow.
