- In this video come along with us as we attempt to get the latest purchase running and driving. We have acquired an old Scania airfield refuelling tanker that's in need of some love! We also have a look at some of the old planes still at the airfield such as the English electric lightning and Joe reveals what he thinks is a sensible forklift!

Ooosh, old school Scania. Nice. Defo worth saving and restoring. Sounds awesome. 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Definitely worth saving, cab looks bit crusty but not beyond repair, and I'd imagine it's very low mileage for a 70s truck, old scanias were pretty bomb proof
Coldest bloody cabs I ever drove!!
@@davidtanslow3584 yeah there was loads of draughts everywhere in them. The left habd drive version was way better to drive
You must have never driven a SCANIA LB as we never had a cold one, 2 heater boxes and a radiator blind best truck EVER made!
My dad drove a Scalia 110 and it was a tipper and it sounded the same. Brought back memories of school holidays at work with my dad. 👍. The Electric lightning was the plane that chased and caught the American U2 spy plane as the yanks said it was to high to catch. The electric lightning passed it at 80,000 feet and was still climbing and vey fast 👍
Matts face at 4:14 is the same face I make when a random miracle occurs like that old beauty starting haha
Well worth rescuing.
I bet that pumping equipment would work straight away! The filters will be shagged and the tank full of JetA1 eating fungus but the pump/meter and kit is usually fairly bomb proof
FunFact 1: The EE Lightning was the first aircraft to 'Supercruise'. Which means go supersonic without use of afterburners / reheat. That was in 1954. The Americans thought they invented the idea with the F-22 in 1997. By which time we had built TSR-2 and put Concorde in service which 'Supercruised' across the Atlantic @ Mach 2 in the '60s.
Funfact 2: The first truck I bought to try my hand as an owner operator was an 'L' reg Scania 110 sleeper tractor unit in about 1975. I used it to pull Norfolk Line trailers off of Great Yarmouth. Great days and that thing was bullet proof. Eventually had a 111 and a 141. After a break to do a proper job and the joy of redundancy I went back on the road and bought a Scania 113 360 tag axle tractor unit.
You have to get that cab sorted as the refueler goes with all your military stuff. That was some aircraft park though. Some classic aircraft there.
If supercruise means going supersonic without afterburner, then the Concorde did not do that. It used 4 afterburners to get through the transonic range.
@@SgfGustafsson Wrong. While it used afterburners for take off at higher weights and to gain Mach 0.89 it then cut afterburners to exceed Mach 1 and then accelerated further up to Mach 2 WITHOUT afterburners.
However even if it had used afterburners to gain Mach 2 the fact it MAINTAINED Mach 1+ without afterburners is the ability to 'Supercruise'.
And not only did it maintain supersonic speed without afterburners it did so for the best part of 3,300 miles. No other aircraft came close.
@@1chish I don't think you understand aerodynamics. The transsonic range is where the most drag occurs. Once at like mach 1.2 the drag goes down significantly, hence the need for afterburners to power through it. Once above the transsonic range you no longer need excessive thrust to maintain airspeed. The Concorde, like all other aircraft, utilized afterburners in order to accelerate through the transsonic range before turning them off once through it. You can watch a video of the pilots doing this and explaining what they are doing.
Edit here: A point I'm trying to make is that once you're above around mach 1.2 you don't need as much thrust, so it isn't that impressive that you're able to maintain cruise after that point. The impressive thing is designing engines that can still work at supersonic speeds.
@@SgfGustafsson Shamelesly copied from Wikipedia: Supercruise is sustained supersonic flight of a supersonic aircraft with a useful cargo, passenger, or weapons load without using afterburner (also known as "reheat"). Many supersonic military aircraft are not capable of supercruise and can only maintain Mach 1+ flight in short bursts with afterburners. Aircraft such as the SR-71 Blackbird are designed to cruise at supersonic speed with afterburners enabled.
Some 4th generation fighter jets are technically capable of supercruise, but only at high altitudes and in a clean configuration. For an aircraft to be deemed capable of true supercruise, it must be able to carry a normal load for an extended distance without diving or using an afterburner.[1] Planes marketed as featuring supercruise usually have the ability to carry a combat load at low to medium altitudes; being able to break Mach 1 without afterburner does not necessarily show supercruise ability. For example, the Federation of American Scientists defined supercruise as "the ability to cruise at speeds of one and a half times the speed of sound or greater without the use of afterburner for extended periods in combat configuration" in discussing the F-22.[2]
One of the best-known examples of an aircraft capable of supercruise was Concorde. Due to its long service as a commercial airliner, Concorde holds the record for the most time spent supersonic; more than all other aircraft combined
I worked on these when they were new. Absolutely bullet proof and Jet A1 makes great cleaning fluid. Brush it on, loosen the dirt and hose it off. The highly refined kero is brilliant stuff.
My uncle worked for scania austria for 46 years he loved that Video 👍
Brilliant, what decent blokes, love what you do and all the enthusiasm and chat, keep vids/projects going
Exactly the things I'd have too fair play brothers
That’s bloody awesome!👍🏻
Old Scanias never die. Be nice if you could save the cab.
"Camera work is going to get unsteady cos you have to bank him" , I think that's what you said 😂
We picked up a brand new 110 super LBS in -72. Had a boogie that was lifted when the truck had no load, robson drive and hydraulic cylinder to tilt the bed. Was used as timber and dump-truck for about 10 years. Learned to drive in that
Enjoyed your video; the old LB 111 it will take a lot of work to restore but at least the chassis is good that’s a huge bonus and it’s just a day cab so less to repair there, I don’t know many people in this country now that have parts for that age off Scania, I worked on and drove them as a young man and as I recall nearly all of them went to export, but watching your video surprisingly most of the parts appear to be there! good luck with it, by the way some of the ignition keys were fiddly you had to push them in and hold them then hit the starter button, good luck boys crack on!!
This will be a great old truck with the right amount of work.
Looks great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'll have to look around on your channel I want to see some more videos on those planes!
That ladder is amazing!
Snap-on primadonna haha I like those tools too!!
Love the job you guys do! Saving old kit, getting them running and injecting new life into them and preserving their part in history. SOO much better seeing these machines active and working rather than walking round a dusty old museum seeing them looking forlorn and gathering dust n rust!. Keep doing what you do!. ( Need a fifty sometging apprentice?, I make a good strong brew and will provide biscuits! 🤣). On ya! Maddog Melbourne Aus.
cough *seatbelt* cough
Put your seatbelt on please.
Does it have them?
Shut up Karen
His life, his choices.
@@zynifi No, the seatbelt protects others bring hit by your idiotic body being flung out of the wind screen at 70mph.
So no, not his life or his choices.
@@mememachine5244 Lmao no, that isnt the reason why seatbelts exist. So again it is his choice. end of discussion.
now THAT'S a bowser!
BRUNTINGTHORPE!
Scania 110 .....111 .... los mejores camiones construidos en la historia del transporte.....su calidad....ÚNICA..
GREAT CHANNEL GREAT GUYS GREAT CONTENT AND PASSIONATE ABOUT THERE HOBBY AND A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOUR 👏👏👍
Thanks, really appreciate it!
That sounds so good
So sad you couldn't make it to the show
Was our first time there ... didn't know about it until you mentioned it
Great day out will DEFINITELY go there again !!
There was even a half track Robin Reliant there driving around the arena !! 😳
The reliant was road legal, left carpark behind me sunday
Metcalfe farms haulage will sort you out transporting the cent 💪🏻🛠
that carlube grease is great stuff good antiseize
Brilliant
All flat panels - be an easy job to weld that up 👍
I'd like to see what Joe comes back with, when you send him out for a little breakfast.
Used 1 of these in Norway at the old German Air field. Bullet proof mechanics
I drove a Scania 110 at Arlanda airport in '89, in the semi-trailer configuration with a 65 m3 tank.
(On second thought it was an 111).
Great truck, but you had to be careful with the clutch at full load or the drive shaft would break.
Ive been in your situation many times buying rusty non running trucks, great video, see my lorries as they are now on my site.
You can never have such a thing as too much forklift. 😁
Looking forward to seeing more 😀
For everyone who’s interest, look up, Master Milo. from Holland Restore a T_69 and from Saddam and a BMP good fun you guys do this things!
Yes I have followed this series it’s very good
Of course it'll start, it's a Scania..
I don't know I've never even seen a scania 😂
Name and shame the company that would not take the tank, great video of the 110 hope she gets saved
It’s worth saving hope it’s gone to good home
The tank looks like a submarine on tracks ;-)
Don't forget the add blue chaps😉
PUT YOUR SEAT BELT ON PLEASE 👍
I would definitely restore the truck it's a peace of history.good talking peace down the pub to.
Love the old Scania, would I be right in thinking that your tanks are multi fuel?
Jet A1 or refined paraffin should help keep them running for a few minutes or two, looking forward to seeing more of the Scania rebuild if you go that route, cheers for another great video 👍
The reo is multifuel so will run on it, the centurion is petrol so unfortunately not, some older diesels may take, may have to do some experimenting
@@fittermat well it would be silly not to make use of the Jet A1 if you can, you might have to filter the fuel before you use it just Incase it has grown a bloom after sitting all that time, don't want any of that getting in the Reo as you have enough on your hands already, genuinely looking forward to seeing more of the Scania 👍
Brilliant interesting, I thought james martin only did cooking🤣🤣 just subbed thanks
Haha I just commented about that 😂
@@Dan23_7 great minds mate
@@delscorey8727 He bloody sounds just like him too, doppelgänger lol
@@Dan23_7 they reckon everyone has a double,🤣🤣
For a Minute I thought I was watching James Martin lol 😂
With added ballast lol
On the Hubnut channel someone is selling an ex-BA Ford Fiesta mk3 1.1 airport runaround.....
Love the Sea Vixen.
Just need your own transporter now 👌🏻
Working on it!
Good video just found your CZcams channel my dad had a scania 111 lift axel tipper truck over 1 Millionen km on it than sold of tho somewhere i wonder if it is still alive Good Video 👍👍
You guys have awesome jobs. Wish I could afford to buy cool stuff.
We’re just plant fitters, we only film the interesting stuff, plenty of crawling around in the mud that doesn’t end up on here
A lot of cool stuff is free, people are desperate for stuff to be taken away.
Are you related to James Martin the chef ? 😂
Top video, old girls 😍
He is Jame's fat hairy northern brother 😆
Looking at mr Martin recently I would say I’m the slim one! Plus I cook a better steak.
@@fittermat Must be genetic. Slow metabolism. Fookin fast pie arm 😆
Snapped a few snap-on spanner’s never snapped a draper expert I mean Halfords spanner
Ah you have one of those invisible seat belts lol 😂
Have you any plans to take it another show like Tankfest or Capel ? Thanks.
Brunters will never be the same. lol
Bring her to retro show next year that be a shock
The English Electric Lightning was an accelerating Demi-god, until TSR2 came along.
I cab buy the stering wheel 😉
What noise off the old beast. Also, couldn't help notice your Vito is an ex Police Scotland van, google your reg for old pics.
Still better than the modern XPI rubbish
Wear your seatbelt FFS... Pull your pants up as well. That type of ignition switch has been standard equipment on Benz trucks for many years.
Shut up Karen
I can’t believe that scania started first turn mental.
Mine sat for 5 years, and started with one puss on the button, simple and great engines
turn up with that a tescos to fill up
Take the shoes of the folks
Please. You are on CZcams. Put your setbelt on. I am from Sweden soo I love Scania.
the tank and the metering gear is worth a few quid
When RAF West Drayton closed they cut up the Lightning, that was the gate guard, and carted it away on trucks….very sad..
And so it came about that after many years of listening to Mat the townsfolk decided to cover the microphone to save the poor souls ears from bleeding profusely .😀👍
That sounded like a gardineer engine most of them were used in buses and marine engine but also used in some of the scania
If you need any work shop or parts catalogue I have some cheers Simon
Where are all these wonderful aircraft?
🤘😎🤘
Hi mate love the scania 110 iam a scania tec from London,would love to come and see it ??
Of course it going to run it's a Scania Swedish quality.
😎👍
my dad and grandad both worked for the RAF one tail gunner in the Lancaster. and dad was in the cold war. guns and bombs . all ways interesting to see how old parts go lol. ???? who jumped out of the shot in a bad suit lol so funny.
The plant meters are worth more than you think guys more than 5 grand sat there!!
if you want the tank and pumping gear feel free to make an offer!
@@fittermat Hi Mat try FLUID TRANSFER in Gloucester if the meters are in ltrs could be worth the ask.....I'm retired cheers Mike.
@@010Tracer Too old really. I used to work at Fluid Transfer.
Jet A1. Basically kerosene. You could heat your home with that!!
Is that a Buccanner in the back of shot in the yard?
Who made the pumping gear etc? I work for a aircraft refuel bowser company and when you say "its in French" I maybe able to help in any documents for it.
It's like the old GMC cabovers. How the heck did they spend all day driving it when there's no room in the cab?
Miiiint
Where Guy Martin ,he loves Scania Trucks
What was the other vehicle behind the scania?
And the steering wheel is on the right side the right way.
Where are all these aircraft located?
I think you and Lord muck should meet up be a good crack
Lol only cost 400 quid you use it as a hammer. Class
Shouldn’t let him have nice things
Should get Ur self a set off us pro 2081 spanners 30 pounds been using the set for the last 7 years I know own 5 sets off them thay are now getting hard to find Bergen and Nelson use to make them but us pro has a nicer feel to them
nothing wrong with us pro spanners, the snap on and Mac really come into their own for rounded off and rusty fasteners though
It's James Martin
Is that an old Strathclyde police Mercedes van
😲 seatbelt
I hear these are going very cheap in Kabul.
Free… with free Blackhawks…
You have CVRT? where are you, id love to see them again
Around 10 in at the minute
@@fittermat awesome I drove cvrt scorpion and scimitar way back when.... was going to buy a spartan or sultan but they are stupid money, and track costs a fortune
Steering wheel alone worth like 300quid
Pump the shit out of it😂😂😂👍
