Similar to the 13t Daewoo we found whilst out on a walk across the Somerset levels recently.......tracked into a WWII bomb crater, game over 
do you think it will every be recovered??

I doubt it Dan, apparently there isnt any firm anchor point anywhere near the machine

Nope, will never be recovered. The track is more than 100m from it, plus the wetland owners (RSPB?) will not allow any further recovery efforts.

thats quite amazing. But over time the oils and fuel will leach out and cause problems.
I bet the driver was reprimanded over that one!

This is a cracking photoset from the area I grew up of a stuck digger. It took 6 weeks to rescue.

If you wore a celtic shirt in that village Tony they'd call you a witch and burn you even up there villages were split along religous lines although it's not a big deal anymore most play rugby or shinty there's very few football teams. :laugh:

quality videos! I'm actually surprised they got that out in a single day but how they hell did it happen anyway?
