    Yes I am an active volunteer
    I recently received the following email which might be of interest to some of you.
    (Wasn't sure which section would be most appropriate for posting this but. . .)

    They have a website at https://www.creeksideboatyard.co.uk/ which includes contact details.

    "Dear Sir,

    I run a boatyard in Dartmouth and we have a hand operated crane that is possibly of interest to a historic railway. I've got no idea where to start seeing if anyone is interested and if I can't get someone to take it on, it will unfortunately be sold for scrap. It was anecdotally used in a film with Johnny Depp some years ago - Im not sure which one.

    I've attached a picture to give you an idea of what we have.

    Any help on where I might find someone who might be interested in taking on the crane would be appreciated.

    Regards,

    Will Gillo
    Creekside Boatyard"
