Stormin Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 THE SMOKE CLOUD IS FROM A LARGE BONFIRE BEHIND THE DIGGER AND NOT FROM THE AEC OR THE SCAMMELL HONEST! :) Catweazle will be disappointed! He's missing his smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Nice pictures, thanks for posting. It does seem that there wasn't many people around at the show though considering the good weather we had at the weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les freathy Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Way back in issue no 45 of Wheels and Tracks Bart featured a set of photos of this supurb large scale model of the Pioneer artillery tractor but never got as far as explaining what happened to it. I and i am sure many others would like to know did it survive and if so where is it now. It is well known that most if not all of the Rootes collection of models built to the same exacting detail survive within the the IWM collection which by the way if anyone from the IWM reads this should all be out on display and not tucked away in cabinets, i well remember these on display as a kid at Lambeth in the 1950s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les freathy Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 This ex tank transporter is interesting i think it was one of the small batch converted by the army for draw bar haulage with concrete blocks mounted where the fifth wheel would have been and from demob had found a new life as a civvy recovery. I cant make out the name on the headboard but the building is owned John Wise agriculture engineers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace1 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Pioneer "SPARKY" at HMS Sultan with their living van on the back. We are just setting of for Haven street on the IOW, then on to Dorset. Eleven days away. One good thing about traveling with a steam lorry is there is always a good supply of hot water! The HIAB on the back has a lifting capacity of 3 tons without any extensions out. If anyone needs a lift with something near the Chichester area let me know by PM & i will try to help. Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to Thirsk in a couple of days so I'll ask around. Thanks for posting a great photo. daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
