have seen the old metal structured wind turbines.made from a skeleton frame mast with a metal finned wheel. Seen quite a few in Herefordshire but they are all slowinly disappearing and I would like one if anyone is taking one down etc?

They get taken down when they are on the verge of falling down usually.
I looked into it and new ones are available, I’m sure google will find them for you.
A chap near me put a second hand one up some years ago and as far as I can make out having your own crane is essential for ongoing maintenance. I would assume that was not the case if buying new.

Thank you for that but I want one not to use but for historical purposes if possible.

Where abouts in the country are you looking? Just Hereford or further afield?

No not just Herefordshire. Where abouts are you located?

Bottom of Wiltshire. We've got a redundant one, no photos to hand and no idea what it's worth- what are they worth to you?
