Hi mate I'm in Derbyshire too so always watching your vids! Also a pilot so happen to know what that at 15:11 is called! It's a VOR navaid. Aircraft use it as a waypoint on route. It broadcasts a signal in the air which aircraft will pick up and fly towards. Once it reaches that navaid, it goes to the next one. So almost like checkpoints that aircaft follow. That particular one is called Trent VOR and is mainly used by aircraft flying too and from East Midlands Airport. 🙂
Hello Ben I'm so glad I asked the question now. I always wondered why it was still there years after the cold war was over. We first saw it when we played football for Biggin in the early to mid 70's that field to the side of it used to be Kniveton's football pitch. We were told that a siren would sound from there in the event of a nuclear attack! Obviously some one's messed with my mind for a long time. From your thumbnail of a Lafarge cement tanker I assume you are a driver too, Cauldon perhaps? Thank you for the comprehensive information, I had no idea, so now have been educated. Also noted another use of the acronym VOR, different to the road haulage version used by maintenance staff. Thank you for that and for watching. All the best Ben.
@@cloudmaker Wow thats crazy how long it has been there then! Noo I'm not an HGV driver myself. I'm a plant operator on large excvators etc. Thats my Dad's truck in the photo but yes he was at Cauldon for 20 years on the bulk tankers with Blue circle, then lafarge and so on as it passed through many names. I'm a student pilot who flys for hobby so thats how I knew the answer but always been into trucks as I grew up with them so thats why it's my picture 😄
@@benw7601 Sorry Ben only just seen this, large excavator driver, have not done any of that in a very long time, face shovel's at Ballidon back then were big Broyt's we had to piggy back them to move them in the back of the big dumpers. I drove, for a short while an RB38 cable operated bottom jaw face shovel, that cleaned up after the drop ball had done the bigger pieces, first go, knocked a six wheeler half cab across the quarry, the swing brake did not work very well! It seems all the quarries have had many different owners and names. As for student piloting, it conjures up visions of revising while flying a plane! All the best.
Thanks for that indeed, just no awareness that it makes all the difference when climbing those hills fully loaded, because when they press the pedal it just goes! Not quite the same for us. All the best Ian.
I finally get to sit down for an hour or so. Now I'm playing catch up... for my dose of industrial language! 👍🏼👍🏼🤣🤣 That first clip almost had someone become a bumper ornament. 🤣🤣 1:14 Agreed! Get your foot on it! My street joins an 80 km/h zone. Many newbies in the new estates way down the road are so used to suburbia, they do this, a lot, at 45-50 km/h. 1:49 Aah, the mirror... one good deed... Some buildings are so close to the roadside, I'm amazed they haven't had the corners knocked out! 9:38 Those mirror mounted hedgers are looking better every day... 🤣🤣 13:10 Corner cutters... my "favourite" kind of idiot... Especially those dozey bastards in little cars! It's amazing what a heap of folded & tube steel does... 🤣🤣 These "genius" types are everywhere! 🤣🤣
Thank you Kevin for yet another comprehensive comment, yes some of those buildings are close to the road but that road would have been just a farm track when they were built. That lane has been carbon dated further up to find that it was built in the first millennium, or more than 1000 years ago. There was up there a Romano British farmstead and later a Monastery. It seems it was more heavily populated then than now. All the best Kevin.
That VW looks like one I owned...it was a '64 and lovely orange!! Got it for $500!!! That one looks more like the yellow '72 I had - bumpers were the giveaway. Another great video - just love the countryside you get to drive through!!! I had to slow down the speed to 25% so I could really check out the towns and vistas.
Hello there thank you for watching, I can tell you that $500 would not buy that VW today, do you know why? It's not legal tender over here! 🤣🤣I can remember going to a VW showroom when I was little with the rest of the family and sitting on that side step of the VW Beetle with one of my brothers. It was a yellow one. That's how long ago it was! 😮 We did have a new car though the VW Variant estate car in 1972. PRB 722K as it happens. You do know that slowing the video down only prolongs the agony don't you! Enjoy reading your comments but remember don't watch too much of this channel or you could end up as silly as me! All the best and be careful in that snow!
@@xo2quilt I know that feeling. I really wish I hadn't sold my Opel Manta (C352 MRB) after we got married but money was tight and couldn't afford to insure it, so it stayed on my lawn for a while before reality, family and mortgage dictated it's sale. It was my first car and I bought it new on the 1st of August '85, the date for new registrations over here back then. As we have been together for 40 years this year we both have a lot of happy memories of that car.
@@cloudmaker If I could pick one car from my past to have kept, it would be my 1965 Mustang convertible. That was a sweet ride...paid $500 for that one too!!
Hey there Subscribed to this? Are you mad? 😉🤣 Don't watch too much or you might end up as daft as me, and I don't want that on my conscience. Seriously though thank you for subscribing and the positive comment. All the best.
It's know as a VOR. It sends a vertical radio beam up and acts like a signpost in the sky for aircraft. There are many across the country to help pilots navigate from one point to another. They are slowly being phased out as new systems come online. If this one is next to the B5035 then it is Trent VOR "TNT".
Hello Dormie I have just read Ben's comment on this page to say it was an aircraft pilot's navigational aid for East Midlands Airport so you were right in about the radar for incoming flights, I had no idea other than what we were told as kids. Thank you for commenting, all the best.
@@met54 Hello there Met, having just read the comment on here from Ben he confirms it's identity exactly as you have done, including it's name, although now it sounds quite ominous when referring to it as 'TNT!' 😉🤣🤣You have it's position spot on too. Thank you for adding this comment and information. All the best.
Hope your well mate, a few eejits on the road I could not believe that idiot in the yellow car that pulled out in front of you on the right at the bottom of the hill and holds you up he pulls away and you lost your momentum that was selfish of that idiot. some nice cars on the road I liked the Morris Minor convertible it had Dutch number plates but It was a RHD. Have a good week and catch you soon Mate Take care
Hello Shaun good to see you here fella. That Morris Minor, I still can't see if it's left or right but my first thought was were they New Zealand plates. Aren't Dutch ones yellow? Or are they like this country that have black and white for older cars? I really don't know. That tit in the yellow car really made that climb a long one as it rises up the Staffordshire moorlands. Thank you for watching and commenting once more Shaun, have a good week mate. I'm having a lie in tomorrow, said to boss on Friday that I needed a month off to recover from the snow on Friday let alone the massive days we've had last week. Used 2 ten hour driving days as firms were going mad stockpiling material as there was a big increase in aggregate prices on 1st of March, some as much as 10%, they are predicting a turndown in construction work until spring with some firms already laying off site workers. All the best.
New Zealand plates are very similar to Australian plates pressed metal like US number plates, I've got one on my garage wall yellow with black lettering the colours vary from different areas mine is from Christchurch NZ
I was just enjoying the difference as it's not available on all the lorries and I do like a good story. Thank you for commenting Richard, have a good week.
Absolutely right Pete, they should have got started on it after that bridge collapsed just outside Ashbourne (7 arches if I remember right) as it was on the planned northern route at one time and it would have saved time and money as they had the thousands of tonnes of hardcore already on site. So many bad planning decisions in Ashbourne has made it much worse than it needed to be. Thank you for commenting Pete.
Great set of clips 👌
Have a great weekend!
Stay safe out there.
All the best, fella
Thank you once more Tuga, take care and have a great week fella.

I came here to drink juice and hear industrial language. And I'm all out of juice! Great collection as always!
Thank you for commenting and watching another episode. All the best! P.S. There's more juice in the refrigerator!
Awesome video, wish I could get back behind the wheel on the lorries again, it's putting a smile on my face watching your videos, keep them coming 🤘😎
Hello Kevin that is very nice of you to say it puts a smile on your face. Thank you and all the best.
Thank you for another great video, stay safe out on the roads
Thank you James, it is much appreciated. Have a safe and happy week Sir.
Paved hiking trails!
Hello Tom, it certainly feels like that at times. Thank you for commenting.

I am assuming that the Aerial Mast was the one at Hognaston Winn, if so it is a way point transmitter for aircraft. Love the videos.
Hello mate it is indeed and have just put a thank you in tonight's video for all, like yourself who have told me what it's for. All the best.
Always enjoy your videos
Thank you for saying so Alasdair it is much appreciated. All the best.
Radar for incoming flights at Manchester -- that's what I was told.
It's know as a VOR. It sends a vertical radio beam up and acts like a signpost in the sky for aircraft.
