Ugly little sods…no offence to your little Scammel Saviem

Saviem:
Evening all,
(this new rule that we cannot cut or trim untill August…right in the busiest period, is crazy, it adds loads of pressure)…as do so many of the “Tree Hugger” enviromental rules…surely some of these folk have never ever observed just how the natural world works…
Cheerio for now.John…similar thing here in rural Bretagne…no bonfires…That use to be no bonfires between July and end of September, fair enough no problem with that. Then a “new law” no bonfires at all. Now this is fine if you live in the village with near neighbours all around you, but for the like of us folk outside the village its a disaster…We have one hectare of land ( 10.000 square meters,) surrounded by trees, bushes and shrubs that all need annual pruning, (or like last year 6 large firs cut down )…all that needs burning on a decent sized bonfire once a year…
So off to the Marie for an explanation, embarrassed faces, “well, errr its about pollution !” Rubbish says I, burning wood does not pollute, and what about the 6 square metres of logs I use each winter then ? and what about the 20 trips I have to do with my car at 13kms per trip to the tip, is that pollution free then ?“Ah, yes, no, errrrr, well its from Paris you know” Is it ? well please supply me with the name and number of the idiot sat at a desk in Paris who says I cant have a bonfire then " " Errr, well…Galic shrug…
Now instead of burning it in my field,I take to my neighbours, who is a farmer and CAN have bonfires…the mockery of it all…
First things first, cheers for another automotive lesson (and kind words) Saviem, ever thought of putting that encyclopedia knowledge of yours into some sort of column in the better vintage commercial magazines…?
And Fergie, those heavies… you (and your mates) always seem to come up with yet another grand pic!
Now, about those regulations, most definitely a “brain” product of one of those “tree huggers” as you’ve nicely named them Saviem, but you can’t have a bonfire Fergie, yet your neighbour, who is a farmer, can… So correct me if I’m wrong here, but if one is a “official” farmer then all is good, if not then you have a problem…?
Oh well, I’ll will get back on a subject I do know a bit more of… The following took place in Denmark, with a lenght of 88.4m, the largest windmill blade was being transported over land…
Nice pics Patrick…that Danish load, is that one of your outfits ?

And now for something completely different, who here knows what this might be…?Cheers, Patrick
Probably a Commer chassis under that, but I have seen pics of similar bodywork on Albions used by a Glasgow company as well.

Nope, livery is a bit to darkish to be one the wagons of my firm 
although they transport those blades as well, well up to 65m that is, this particular one was done by a Danish firm, I think their name was Brande Maskin Transport…? They’ve been taken over by Mammoet, so they’ve changed the name into Mammoet Wind.

Cheers for the info Pete!
Anyone familiar with Italian firm Fagioli?
Some time ago, they were setting up some heavy equipment at the Antwerp docks.
Name didn’t ring a bell, but apparently they are a wordwide operating firm and they only seem to shift the really heavy stuff, so they’re right up there on the list altogether with the likes of ALE, Mammoet and Sarens.
Wow Patrick, you have some great photos here. Between you, Fergie and Michel we are really spoilt!
