The thing I liked about Fred's style was it gave the chiminey a last smoke before it died, kind like a farewell, in one of the videos he talks about the chimnineys as friendly or scarey, much like they have character.

Truly he had a love of his job and way of life.

Fred Dibnah was a fair man to say the least. As an engineer I have insane amounts of respect for him..

Wish I was born abit earlier than I was so I could have met him hahaha
