One of the gaffer’s sons had a Mammoth Major with mid mounted crane,6yr old so a few signs of age, one of them being a creeping boom on the Hiab. For traveling the brick clamp was put to the back nearside pack,so obviously the first off. Anyways he picks it up but one of the banding straps got caught on the tailgate,he toodles down to free it, leaving his left hand under the pack!! Down she goes n settles nicely on his hand,he can’t reach the crane controls,so he stands there for around an hour till somebody noticed !!
If they put his brains in a duck it would fly north for winter
