    Turbines. Cousin of mine transports them. Some fair amount of skill involved.

    Enercon blades and turbines going to Tuam.

    Yes, Cloonlusk, first loads went out on Wednesday night. About 25 to 30 loads in total to go out. Relatively small in comparison to the Siemens turbines.

    Makes you feel like you're in a plane maker's yard to walk around there sometimes, depending on what's there.
