Some friends went for a wander there a few weeks ago and the crane was there then. FYI. #CraneReport

It's so good to have this back, beautiful morning at the farm. Even more nerves about T day now.

I would love to think that but bloody expensive way of doing it?  We need a crane expert.

Heavy banner? Has to cope with wind? Funny looking crane as can't see a counterweight...

Not an expert but it looks like a self erecting tower crane which have the counterweights at the base of the crane. Remote controlled from ground level, so no Tower Crane Driver to get lonely, with limited lifting capacity they're normally used where there is limited space so I've no idea why they need one in the middle of a field.

Leaving aside CraneGate, it is nice to see cows in the fields.

Someone ring that phone number on the crane and ask them what it was booked for.  Put on an Eavis voice.

[Gwladboy]

The crane has been lowered.  What could this mean?
