Beach demolition

A local tourist attraction has fell foul of the pencil necks at the council. Sadly, they had demanded it be tore down

ive just looked at the pics and this one cause some concern. Can they operate at that depth adequately?

I wouldnt have thought so, water level very close to the engine there, unless the air intake is high up or it is modified.....Giles...lol

I thought so too. Its way over the cab floor, so its in the engine bay. Would hope Gile could throw an expert eye over it.
I wouldn't like to be the driver

If that is Warwickshire's entry into the space programme, it *deserves* to be demolished!

meanwhile T'Lankysheer Space Programme based in Darwen is almost ready for launch....

nah thats been flooded, its above the upper structure meaning the fan would be turning in the water, all the electrics in the cab, i mean you could get it out in an emergency if you kept it running as the air intake and exhaust are on the top but you wouldn't want to especially if its salt water, the engine will run as long as it can breaht and exhale,

i bet its not an owner operator

had ours in fairly deep

its not that fun being in water where you have to use your bucket to gauge the depth and teh bottom is 3' of silt

You can get under water excavators that can be fully submerged but this isnt one of them..
Heres a pic

They have a floating pontoon for the power source. Cant imagine a machine of this type would do much else than make the water murky

i take it the digger in picture 1 has been abandoned?
we did a trout lake years ago and the guys from suffolk had a special digger and dumper
think they could operate in 8 foot of water
massive tyres IIRC

Doubt it. Its the promotional 'here's what we are doing' pic.

It was a place called 'Heart Park' . A sea-side in the middle of Meriden. So you're looking at a Light house, not our contribution to the 'Space Race'

Great idea as you could camp for Â£25 for he whole family or Â£40 for the weekend. No traffic, just drive 10 miles up the road to the middle of England. It worked really well, shame he didn't ask for planning

LINK to old site.

You could do carting, clay pigeon shooting , conferencing the lot. Shame really.
