N.O.S. Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Here's one I was lucky enough to drive around the parade ground during a Scammell Register visit to 19th Tank Transporter Regt. Bulford Camp. It is preserved by the Regt. along with a Diamond T 'Old Joe'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antarmike Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Breaking down is expensive, I was on the A34 going north at Abingdon, I had just passed the slip, The was no choice but professional recovery, they eventually sent two wagons out, one for the antar, an Artic Slider, and another for the Dyson trailer, loaded with Douglas, and the living van behind that. The 15 mile journey up the A34 to Oxford and back down the other side to Didcot where we changed the engine cost £450. The Engine cost £3000, and lost time and other expenses meant the whole episode cost about £5000. And the Air compressor ran it's bearings twenty miles from home just to cap it all... Some people may spot PikeyMatt in the far left of shot. My thanks to him and everyone else who worked so hard to get me home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
