sent many a night out with old man on recovery t was either in the landy, landy and trailer or out in the mamouth. Knee high to a grass hopper but could strap down winch in, even attach swan neck and air lines. looking at kids of today and there computers, my child hood big spanners and big hammers (if that didn't work get a bigger hammer). Even knew how to syphone a gallon out of each tank before i could do fractions !!.grew up with diesel know as "luckies" when i asked why the answer was " lucky we haven't got caught!". Loved the v8 recovery landrover that dad used to drive. Life and learning taught more from just get it done than from books.

You can see the equipment behind the blue and white landy. The crane in that one is a foldaway , they were designed to fold back and lay flat on floor
The crane has a cable with hook that attaches to the spreader plate , this has a jaw with pin on rear face that goes in the ring thats visible on the triangular distance bar . Park in front of disabled vehicle lower spreader plate , use two big hooks with chains on to catch hold of lower suspension arms, and pull back tight to spreader plate and latch on . wind vehicle up and fit pin to secure plate to distance bar. and away you go.
