STG are on television - yet again!
Little did Volker realise, when driving north, that he was about to appear on television. A week earlier, he was asked to collect an abnormal load from Arganda del Rey, on the outskirts of Madrid. At the time, the oversize dimensions and weight meant very little, other than special permits and escorts would be required.
When it was discovered that the cargo was a bronze statue, sculptured by the renowned artist and sculptor Manolo Valdes, it was evident that extra care was needed. Just to add a further dimension to the challenge, the statue was part of an exhibition arranged by Sotheby's, within the grounds of Chatsworth House.
Arriving at the main gate was easy - delivering, discharging and positioning on the main lawn, at the rear of the house, needed something extra. Hence the reason for Volker travelling north, just to make certain everything went smoothly. Imagine his surprise to discover that the operation was being recorded by BBC television - a star at last! |
