2 Delivery to the site
The turbine and the supporting mast arrive on a rather large lorry.
Manouvering the lorry through the gates onto the allotment site was not quite as easy as this picture suggests.
The lower half of the mast came off first.
The lorry driver was used to handling mast sections like this with a fork lift. He managed to just miss the building each time.
Then he used the fork lift to push the mast onto a sidepath where it did not block the road, and without leaving tyre marks on the plots either side. In this picture the fork lift is carrying the gin pole which looks tiny compared with the mast sections.
