Yes it is. There are some operational pics on their web site. Haines Towing NJ.

Obviously not Ron's neighbour - but they do exist. Can't imagine that any little mom n pop tow company can afford one though!!! I know of this one in NJ. Has a big decal on the boom that reads "80+ Tons". The owners father started the business with a couple of WWII ex Navy Air Corps - Sterling...

Just have all your duck in a row - passports, ownership papers/registrations/insurance/suitable drivers licence for that vehicle in Canada - airbrakes etc... Don't go over your allowance on booze or spare gasoline/diesel. Make sure you have names/locations of destination/reason for trip etc...

Go back to post 150, 153 and 163. I think we were talking about this back then. What pics do you want? - I've got 30/40 or so of other trucks with Holmes 750 and 850 gear..

powered back end. Another hyd spades pic I found on "The Facebook".

sorry - I keep trying to load the pic, but nothing. So imagine a HET, with twin boom Holmes 850 behind the twin drag winches and a civi underlift at the back, all painted camo green/black etc... The FB link does work cut n paste though. There is also a pic of an M916A1/2 all stretched out...

I remember as a kid, going to that Mildenhall air show and seeing the SR-71 arrive and land. Rumour at the time was that doing the record for the fastest transatlantic crossing, it was going so fast that it overshot the UK and had to turn around over Sweden. I did get 'the T-shirt' but I have...

That's the regimental colours of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME).. also RAEME and RCEME for same units in Australia and Canada. Often see those colours in small squares on the engineer/fitter/mechanic/recovery vehicles attached to other units.

Hey biggun' - 2:35 am what's up with that? Happy new year btw! Great thread to warm up as always. What about that "finger saver" as you called it! (BII [CES - "British~English"] x3 per UK wrecker - wheeled and tracked) H (sorry, internets way too slow this morning for pics - there is a...

'Blood flow' - try using PAINT on your computer to give us a clue what you are after to either draw from scratch or you can cut-n-paste TM pics/photos. Canadian CCKW's and RAEME M816 wreckers all had various stowage/tray/catwalks behind the bumpers...
