Thanks Pete, Denny and Maureen. I think this has US heritage - there was an American air force site pretty close by (closed now though). I didn't try to get a pic of the crane because it was partly grown over by the bushes behind, but I might have another go on the way home tomorrow... I took another couple of shots I might post them out of interest.

Cheers,
Peter.
