Patrick, The hauliers that move those engines must have some serious insurance chap as was reading about the engine on the A380 and they
were around 25 million USD each for Rolls Royce Trent 900 engines. !!! Bearing in mind they have 4 thats some serious wedge.
Aye, they’re quite expensive, the XWB engines are costing up to $30-40 each… asked about our insurance policy regarding those engines, but never really got an answer…
Some of the larger companies carry there own insurance and its possible that R/R are insuring them in transit and charging the air line its going to,lots of ways to skin cat in the insurance game.
A couple of photos as promised from Crooksy his unit and some loads.

Patrick, I wonder how they justify engine’s costing that much,crazy money.
Good point regarding the insurance Dig. Nice pics as well chap.
I’ve been up close with these engines, it’s all little tubes, wires and such, no idea why it costs such a amount of money Dean, I mean, I’ve built Lego models with more moving parts in them, nobody ever paid me 30 million quid for that!

Nice Patric! Nice to see that you are out and about
That boom and Bucket on the 329 looks kinda strange to me. Or is it just me and to many beers
Danne
Nothing wrong with your eyes Danne! It’s a face shovel, used in quarries and such, it came from Ireland, I picked it up at a handler near Bristol and brought it to Holland, where a normal boom is going to be fitted in order to make it a normal digger again
Had to knock the pin out of the middle hydraulic cylinder to lower the height, it’s been a while since I’d done those sort of jobs…
Nice pics as well chap.
