remember this guy from my youth, quite funny with his tales from his many years of demolition.

Re: Blaster Bates RIP
He, often spectacularly, blew up chimneys, the late, great, Fred Dibnah took them down by hand, fire and old pit props.
Both were excellent raconteurs and I booked them both for clients in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Blaster" tended to be a bit more "racy" than Fred and was always annoyed that Fred didn't approve of dynamite demolition.
