Nicks Blog | Doug Potter Hyundai demonstration legend

[RSS Bot]

Anyone who has ever attended SED could not of missed the amazing demonstrations put on by highly experienced operator Doug Potter.

Doug has been wowing the crowds at SED and similar shows all over the world for the last 22 years. I myself have watched and indeed admired Doug's performances at various shows over the years but this year I was lucky enough to meet the man in person and he talked frankly to me about his career as a machine driver and demonstrator.



Doug first took to the controls of a purpose built piece of construction machinery in 1961, the machine was an early JCB 4 which Doug recalls having the five lever operating system, Doug said "it was a bit of a handful to operate thinking back" the machine belonged to Crossman develepment company.
