Old JCB 3Cs in action

[Nick Drew]

Most of these photos are of my late Father at the controls of a JCB 3CII in the early 1970s, He loved his JCBs and indeed it these machines which I cut my teeth on way back then.

Great to see that old machine!!

I remember seeing them as a kid, I wont claim to know anything about them though!!

I have tried to operate track loaders in the past but I am not very good on them

I love to see masters at work on them...it can be poetry in motion!!
