Information about the Brush Sem s.r.o. Plzen Czech Republic: BRUSH SEM is a manufacturer of large generators for gas turbine and steam turbine drive applications, based at Plzeň in the Czech Republic. The site for BRUSH SEM was established in 1859, by Count Wallenstein-Vartenberk who set up a branch of his foundry and engineering works in Plzeň approximately 98 km south west of Prague in the Czech Republic. In 1869, the plant was taken over by Emil Škoda, an industrious engineer and dynamic entrepreneur who was quick to expand the business. In the 1880s, Škoda established what was then a very modern steelworks capable of delivering castings weighing dozens of tons. Steel castings and, later, forgings for larger passenger liners and warships went on to rank alongside the sugar mills as the top export branches of Škoda's factory. To date the BRUSH SEM works have manufactured over 1400 turbo generators and 250 hydro generators to many parts of the world including USA, Canada, Russia, China, India, Middle East, Central&East Europe, West Europe, Australia, Africa and South America and now Australia. Information about company that ordered 117 tonne generator: The Worsley Alumina Refinery is named after the historic timber settlement of Worsley, near Collie in the south west corner of Western Australia. The history of the project goes back to the early 1960s when a group of local entrepreneurs formed a firm to explore, develop and sell deposits of bauxite ore on the eastern side of the Darling Range, near Boddington.

Comparing Prague Airport and Perth Airport approach friendly helpful people willing to show more than Prague is the winner. Thank you
-
pity the recording guy didn't put some more thought into recording takeoff.

The next interesting bit of the story will be getting the cargo to Worsley. Between the Perth airport and Worsley are quite a number of steep hills. It is going to take a number of prime movers ('tractors' to our US friends) joined together to get it up them. That in itself would be a sight to see.

Amazing!. That's the cargo after all. Czech engineering at it finest. Thanks for posting the video.
