There's not a single crane operating in the city centre right now because of the wind. They're all parked.

Given Matthew mentioned it I would assume it’s for Vesta St.

Yup.

Bang in line with the New Islington phase 3 crane from my vantage point.

We've done it chaps! :banana:

Through thick and thin, it took us 13 years but we've finally beaten the record

Hold your horses, I make it 62.5 cranes...

Any idea of what’s gonna come down this year as well??

Weavers Quay and New Islington phase 3 have both completed their framework so they will probably be down before the end of the summer.

Mobile crane setting up at Weavers Quay, assuming it will be bringing down the last crane.

It's gone today.

Back at 64!

Let's hope we get to 65 before another one comes down!!

Will this do? +1 at Circle Square.
