Hi Guys ..got sent these pics today .. its of a poor old Poclain 60 .. Chris, who took the photos about 3 years ago on the GSE landfill site at Lydd in Kent, thought that the machine was left there to rot .. but when chris returned with another load later that day the machine was being lifted out by a crane to live another day
Clearly the operator wanted to give the machine a good wash

Re: Sunk and down
Thats unusual to lift something in a situation like that with a crane, normally they are winched back out.Any pics of the rescue ?
