At sunrise on the morning of 3rd December 2007, during the calm weather conditions, the disk brake and gearbox assembly were lifted into position on top of Turbine Tower No 16.
This was the first of 26 wind turbines to be constructed on Scout Moor.
The early morning lifting operation came after delays of three days due to strong winds.
