N.O.S. Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Forcful has a very useful tilt and frame- was this a typical "in service" adaptation or a 'preservation special'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Preservation special' I'm afraid as he lives out doors and he can't stand moss in his lockers, a few chaps have commented that it's nice to see one with it's original tilt still fitted :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Johns Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Two Explorers and Militant at Biggin Hill airshow, both Scammells had RR Eagle diesels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julezee001 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Nice to see pictures of the trucks on the site so quickly. Our first time at the Air Fair, nice show for the planes, only spoilt by being right next to the Funfair which played a loop of poor music flat out all day. We should have left our earplugs out for the journey up to the show then we'd only have heard that special ringing sound, associated with being in a Militant cab with an 11.3 litre engine, or an Explorer cab above the straight cut gears with the Eagle 220 driving it! The only technical hitch was a puncture on 158 UXL, which being ex-REME we fixed on site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julezee001 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Excellent! One of the "Atlas" cranes 101 uses. O/s tyre took an hour to take off, change tyre and re-fit, this nearside one took all day at my workshop. Despite cleaning and painting the rims, it took 3 hours to sort it again on Saturday! Fortunately seem to have sorted the problem, and it drove home without another hitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
