Glad to see someone else has taken the plunge! Mine arrives in about 2 weeks. (15 m mounted on a Mercedes the size of a barn on wheels!)( based in Hampshire)
Just a note of warning with the transit Andy...watch the amount of goods/equipment you transport. It is very easy to go over the GVW of the vehicle. This is due to the weight of the boom.
Police and vospa carry out regular spot checks and the last thing you want is to be taken off the road on the way to a job!
I have started to spread the word with sign installers, painters, builders, other cleaning contractors, landscape gardeners, and anyone else I can think of that might want to go upwards!! All the best
