Brilliant, just the sort of answer I needed.

Thank you

Almost any construction company will have experience and equipment to get their equipment to the job site. The dead of winter might find most of their machines sitting in the yard costing the company money. Same advice to find one as above. Be prepared with the dimensions and weight of the BV so they know what the job requires.

Default MLU memeber from the area.

Angus Buissonneault lives just outside East of the Soo...
Bristol mine....???

Unfortunately he is almost off the grid but does have a land line...... maybe someone from MLU has his tel. number..... being on site he could make arrangements for you.

Robin... is that anew acquisition or an unfortunate breakdown...

Good luck and do not forget your camera.

The Bv206 in question belongs to a friend who has a cottage up that way. He and I have been friends for a number of years.

He suffered a catastrophic engine failure 25 km in the bush on a well established trail area.

It is a simple recovery with the use of the vehicle specific A frame that I am in the throes of finishing. It was designed for such an event and makes the casualty vehicle a wholly controlled towed load and does it very safely and well.

I have received via PM a phone number for Angus and will contact him.

If I go, I will take many pictures, but honestly aside from furnishing the A frame, I don't need to go, I have other projects of a higher priority.

Thanks to all

Just got off the phone with Angus.

Funnily enough he rode with me at Coe Hill in our BV206 on the trail ride. I didn't get his name at the time but he knew who I was as soon as I called. Obviously I made an impression

Splendid gent, still no intentions of getting a computer but loves to chat on the phone.

He has engaged.

Many thanks all

BV 206...I think I'd give up my first born for one of them.

Wonder if Swithin's in UK still flog them?

Robin...what kind of catastrophic engine failure happened?
