Brilliant guy fozzy was, just very genuine good bloke. Although he’s gone his accolades and machines will live on, instrumental man in heritage excavators and railways. Nice video, good machine that 22-RB, you’ll have to try and come up again if possible, a lot has changed since 👍🏻
@@Priest57man Saw recent pictures of the shovel, it don't look well looked after externally. Will love a visit , but got so much on at the moment. Is a Priestman Beaver still up there ?
@@DOCTORDROTT that’s fair enough but hopefully one day in the future. yes well the new owner of 22-RB is still learning the machine and doesn’t come up often…….. yes the beaver is still there in the lower quarry entrance formally Pattersons yard, although its look quite sorry for itself.
@@Priest57man I often chatted on the phone with Derek. He showed me the basics on his 22 RB as I had never operated one before. I did make enquiries about buying it off Derek along with his caravan but I ended up with a knee injury that screwed my plans up as Threlkeld is a 600 mile round trip for me. Will get back up there one day. I now own a 10 RB
