Goodwood Festival of Speed
Southern Cranes were heavily involved in the construction and dismantling of the temporary buildings and displays used at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
It took many weeks to set everything up. The festival opened on Friday 11 July 2008 and finished on Sunday 13 July. Many of the displays and buildings will be transported to other venues across the world.
The pictures include the dismantling of the Land Rover exhibit in front of Goodwood House. This exhibit was probably the tallest structure at the festival, dwarfing Goodwood House.
The Festival of can justifiably claim to be the world's biggest and most diverse celebration of the history of motor sport and car culture. It is the only occasion where you will see the greatest competition cars and star drivers from all eras in action: everything from 19th century steam carriages to current Formula One; fabulous racing motorcycles; classic rally cars to 3000bhp dragsters; plus motor sport legends like Moss, Surtees, Fittipaldi and Andretti rubbing shoulders with today's hottest properties such as Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso and Petter Solberg.
