SD8218 : Top section of Turbine No 17

Top section of Turbine No 17 .

Turbine No 17 was the penultimate tower of the 26 towers to be built on Scout Moor.
Seen here in early June 2008 the top 22 metre tower section has been unloaded and the two cranes work in tandem to bring the tower section from a horizontal to vertical position.
The yellow crane then lifts the section into its final position.
