What a donkey taken that daf on there 🤠

Were the hell do we get one of these cool trucks 🚛

I bet the Daf driver got a bollocking

After looking at this video, why was that flat bed parked there in the first place!

Send me any amount of money to my bank account and I will return you 4 times the amount back. H7j

Nice to see the driver understanding what to do on soft ground too, could have easily buried it at the beginning just getting into position.

totthat scammel pulling a t45 is like pulling a matchstick

I was lucky enough to drive one of these on an off road course. Best fun I’ve ever had.

Удивительная машина какие возможности считывать рельеф по которому она движется я видел автомобили Лаффли вот инженерная мысль реализована и это в конце тридцатых и сороковых годов прошедшего века .

Nice bit of ploughing you did there!

My grandad used to drive these out in Cyprus in 1963 when he served in TA they had about five or seven of them they also had 1939 pioneer with cloth doors which was a wreck it broke down on them and they couldn’t repair it so Captain told them to leave it on mountain and they did.

The cycle front mudguards are the basis of "the look". Everything else follows.

I used to own an explorer with a Gardner..........they dont FLY anywhere LOL!

Yeah they don't build them like they used too! Great to see an old scammell still be top dog!

When I was in the TA we pulled into Catterick for some grub and when the RSM spotted us he asked us to pull out a Chieftan tank that was half buried outside his office and our corporal at the time who was an ex regular Recce mech said no probs so we rigged up and out she came no problem using our old Scammel like this one but ours was petrol.

Real popular with grounds men on Monday mornings I bet!.

Looks like a L10 Cummins and pulls like one.

What engine is in her please?

It's the winch mechanism, not the Scammell thats proving its worth - but that's hardly "recovery" when all you do is attach a cable and pull - possibly exceeding the safe strain on the cable (and on the winch)

Scammell Explorer says to flatbed truck with crane "I may be old as your grandparent but I will drag you young thing out of your predicament with no trouble at all even if we do make a couple of furrows through the grass in the process"!

GRANDE.

Learnt to change gear without using the clutch on one of these.... six speed crash box

Hope she's still alive and working today

I bet the grounds staff were pissed off.

Where is the next part .. i like it a lot

Fuck they made a mess of the track and parkland , hope they did the right thing and cleaned it up

My old man was REME in WW2, ' an he loved it.Said it was proper workhorse, did every thing he wanted.. he evan (and his mate Dirty Percy) took cover under it when he was dived bombed in the desert..Saved their life's...long live the Scammel...

01BD41 .... I think that was one of the Recy Mech HGV driver training vehicles from E sheds at Bordon in 1969/70 ... my civvy instructor was better known for being nervous and trying to steal your packed lunch than for any instructional skills. The best wrecker of all time, I later had one of the very few Scammells with the ill-considered retrofit iron-bound wooden spade anchors which was as much use as wings on a shed and certainly no better than gun planks between the rear wheels and skid pans to the front. That was in Bielefeld, from where we regularly backloaded Leyland wreckers and gun tractors to Munchengladbach on hollybone bars behind Scammells - nominally overloaded but safer than the other way round given the Leyland’s predilection for dumping its air and, inconveniently, any means of stopping.

the sodar recovery unit

omg its butch

Legendary lorry

Great machine! Hope it is still around now!

I drove one of these around in Germany and N.I back in the late sixties. In N.I. we called ours "Nan"..recovered an old Armoured Pig with a smashed rear axle,by rear suspended tow from near Larne and back through Belfast to our base in Long Kesh.

Does !

That's the classic "come or I'll fetch you"

love it the old girl can still pull !!! BIG TIME

I have driven one of these in my youth. it was a garage breakdown truck that was ex RAF. very heavy to drive. it belonged to a garage nr berkswell Warwickshire called anns pantry. at the time I was working at gambles garage at meer end.

What a Gem she is, they don't make them like that any more. Thanks for saring the video i'ts great, just wondering how the Daf managed to get out there in the first place?

Great. Who were the grounds maintenance people. Damage looked challenging!

They're fantastic for tilling the soil.

Interesting spelling in the title .

You broke that engine Owen...you boy racer..

Excellent victory lap!

Nice to see they have at least got the track down for London 2012 olympics. That's going to be over shaddowed by the war and peace show eh? ,-)

love it!

when is bloxham rally?

I'd love to have seen the groundsman's face when he saw that! Excellent video, showing what the old girl can do without turning a hair.

what had the other lorry delivered?

cool

what a fantastic noise, makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end!
