Hi John,

Well done for being there at the"moment" when the lift was done to right her. Pity it is such a tragic event.
Some phone you have there too!

best regards
Derek

Thanks Andrew,
Its a Nokia 12 mega-pixel. Handy for things that crop up when you're without camera...unless you need to zoom. I note her running mate 'HORTON' has left her berth outside my office this morning, maybe going to tow her down to Gravesend?
Best Regards
John J.

Thanks Phil. Yes, I just had a hunch that it was going to happen today so 'have mobile, will travel' and caught the moment, albeit a sad one. Think the Nokia phone did a credible job compared to all my new kit which I can still take bad photos with ;-) I had to reduce these down considerably to fit on the site!
Best Regards
John J.

Remarkably sharp photos John considering the equipment you were using. Great captures of this interesting yet very sad event.
