I believe it maybe the one at the Freshwater bay lifeboat station. I'll get a picture next time I'm over That way.I used a Teleram 40 (30 yrs old) for everything until about 4 years ago. Slow, noisy but totally reliable and simple to fix. Now got a Manitou MLA 628 which is in a different league but complicated. Don"t miss the Matbro but it cost 5 grand, 3,000 hours later I sold it for 5 grand and it always did the job... think it went for launching lifeboats on the Isle of Wight!
2 big spud boys here use TR200 for years, one bought a JCB 320 good to lift 2 ton and quarter boxes but clumsy. Kept 200 as quicker and easer on diesel, must be near 20000 hrs on her now but worked hard but well maintained
never like the 250 awful tub of a thing to be inTR200 is awful thing to repair compaired to a TR250.
Generally with any compact machine my advice is only buy it if you need/got to have a compact otherwise get a full size model.
I always thought a 250 110 tonne quite nice apart from the angle of the foot throttle
