Now this has brought back a little story regarding Scammell Mediums (as Explorers were known in the army). At the REME workshops where I worked, there was also an Ordnance depot. Vehicles for disposal were brought in from local units at one time, but disposed of through the big Ruddington auctions, viewing being done in previous days. After the auctions, it was quite busy with people like Vass turning up and literally stacking Bedford RL's together on low loaders. One day after an auction, a Scammell medium recovery was seen coming down from the Ord depot.....with black smoke pouring out of the exhaust, definitely running rich. The driver pulled up at the workshop and explained he was driving the vehicle back to Norwich but he had a problem. Now the vehicle examiners were well aware of what the fault was ( and were no doubt waiting for this moment ). Sometime previously, an Antar broke down in the area, fault being..........a faulty float in the carb. Being a weekend and using initiative, they removed one from the Explorer waiting for disposal and used that, but did not replace it, so one carb was flooding. I have no doubt that a float was found .
