Going Up!
This is Jimmy Curly! He was one of our 4 regular Alimac hoist operators on the bridge who all done 1 week on each cantilever's hoist and then 1 week on nightshift in a 4 week rotation. They quite literally spent their working life going up and down taking people and materials to the top and back. These guys where characters... knew everyone and everything going on as they got all the gossip in the 3 min trips! Its only a certain type of person that can do that in all weathers and remain cheery... but they did!
Back in 2006 to 2011 I had the pleasure of working on the Forth Rail Bridge as a site manager for the refurbishment project. Whilst there I did a personal project of photographs I took whilst working on the Bridge. I feel proud when my kids say... Dad that is the bridge you helped paint!
