[edit] Restaurant?

Should we mention the proposal that a restaurant be built at the top of the crane? See [1] Camillus (talk) 11:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tank Loader

A much-quoted story when I was in Glasgow, was that the crane was maintained in working order and protected from the depredations of developers by the Ministry of Defence. The whispered reason given was that it was the only crane capable of lifting a main battle tank on or off a ship, should this ever become necessary. Does anyone have any confirmation/refutation of this yarn? --Oscar Bravo 11:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
