ON THE DIGGER NEAREST THE CAMERA IS MESELF JOHN FLETT AND THE OTHER DIGGER IS BRIAN FLETT. THE TWO LADS BACK ON ARE MAGNUS BERSTON AND ANDREW SINCLAIR

The dates must be way out on this pics. I just mind this 360 at andrew sinclairs. I started there about 1980 ish. Long time ago so may be wrong

The digger in the photo is not Andrew Sinclair's machine, it was an MF and the one in the photo is a Hymac. They look the same and were built I think by the same company, easy mistake.

what sacrilege,destroying wartime historic buildings like the watch office,surely it could have been saved instead of some ols farmer wanting it removed from his land.it shold have been kept as a monument to wartime history.i would have purchased it.
