AndyFowler Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks for posting Andy. Nice photos. Some unusual bodwork on a couple, but I'm not sure about #7 "How to disguise your Pioneer as a Series 2 Land Rover" :nono: They are rather bizarre mate I did think 8 may have had a driven front axle but not able to be sure ! Not sure 7 would win a prize for prettiest Pioneer from me either ! :-D:-D:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 For me the pioneer is probably the best looking truck ever created, (far sleeker than the explorer with it's higher profile), what on earth made people think they could improve on it? I'll go along with that, just think they look even better without the weights and rack....... Good pix Andy thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz76 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks for the photos. They both look great Are they there permanently or were they visitors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Visitors I think, the Museum is well worth a look but has no other military exhibits that I saw. Having MVs there just made it better. http://www.amberleymuseum.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nptimber Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Got a phone call today from a local Tree surgeon he said his digger had got stuck could we help the following pictures show what we did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nptimber Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 We put down a 3to 1 layout to recover the digger using the winch on the pioneer returning the rope onto the militant mk 3 anchor The pioneer was anchored using the scotch pans under the front wheels these are able to hold the 8 ton pull from the winch , the bulk of the anchorage was from the militant rear spade . THE SMOKE CLOUD IS FROM A LARGE BONFIRE BEHIND THE DIGGER AND NOT FROM THE AEC OR THE SCAMMELL HONEST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
