JCB - Recovery

The driver mis-judged the steepness of the bank and ended up in the river at Buckingham.  MKSAC were asked to step in to assist the recovery operation.  On site things did not look too promising as just the tip of the arm could be seen poking out of the water.

The arrival of a heavy crane looked more optimistic as three of our members assess the situation.

Divers have attached chains below the waterline.  The crane takes it's first lift to turn the JCB the right way up.

Having re-positioned the chains (underwater!) the second lift takes place with all points taking an equal load.  The JCB is then placed on the bank for attention.

Job well done.  Adrian, Kevin and Brian survey the recovered vehicle.
