Coles Husky 'Betsie' Q176MPU photographed at Walton on Thames Marina on 4/10/12. (Alan Bullock) #1

Neil Forster writes ... The crane is a Coles Husky 15-tonner and I would say it is a ex-MOD as it only has one jib section telescoping. It probably has an AEC AV505 engine. They were not used as hire machines as they were terrible travellers and the driver's vision was very restricted.
