Retirement of a Open Cast Legend

Meingwyn 50 years Service to Open Cast Mining
There seems to be a distinctive theme to my posts of late ! Mining ! Back photographing for Celtic Energy again, but this time to record the retirement of Meingwyn a machine operator from the Nant Helen Site.

Meingwyn has been working in the industry for 50 years which is testement to Meignwyn and also to the Open Cast Mining Industry in enabling Meingwyn to start and end his working life in the same job. A rarity these days I am sure you will agree.

Well my brief was to get some shots of Meingwyn at the site with some of the machinery that he would usually operate and also to record the presentation of his retirement present organised by Richard Davies from Celtic Energy.
Nant Helen-7
I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the site and I would like to give special thanks to Derek, Alan and Richard who all gave up some of there time in their busy day to take me around the site safely.

And of course special thanks to Meingwyn all the best for your retirement.
