Dennis returns

An exciting day on Friday!
Dennis the bus returned to Jesson's following his refit.
Getting him back was a complicated operation as these pictures show

Reversing into position

Mr Shackleton watches progress ready to decide about how we will run our playtime

The truck was massive

Waiting to put out the barriers

Almost in place 

The Landrover bringing specially made supports (so Dennis doesn't sink into the playground!) 

Some of the vehicles: there were more round the side 

The front was taken off for towing

Preparing to lift Dennis onto the supports (he can still be driven, but he will be parked for some time) 

It was a tricky job

 The playground was a hub of activity

 The electrician connects the cable

Putting in a new fusebox inside the building
Mr Jackson makes some last minute checks

The workmen pose for a photograph. Job done. The job took over three hours altogether

What about inside?
Aha, we're not going to show you that till the children have seen it!
