listerdiesel Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 This company has very some very slick items of kit including what appears to be a Volvo ex military wrecker. No drama, quiet confidence. R Scania. you can tell by the rear axle half-shaft caps, but it says so on the YouTube details below as well.

Pzkpfw-e Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Not quite sure if this's the right thread, but a good picture. Conqueror on an AEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Comber Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Great photo, but you looking at a Rotinoff not an AEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Child Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 As there's no turret I wonder if this is either a Caernarvon, or one of the engine test Conq's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 As there's no turret I wonder if this is either a Caernarvon, or one of the engine test Conq's ? It looks like it has ballast weights on top to represent the weight of the turret. The Rotinoff Atlantic was trialled out of FVRDE at Chertsey and this would be where the tank and trailer probably came from. I did an article in Vintage Roadscene a few years ago with photos of the Rotinoff on test from FVRDE with a prototype Centurion as load.

Richard Farrant Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 They've been shifting stuff for years! Nice photo. They were probably going from, or to Woolwich Arsenal, as the bus has Plumstead and Blackheath on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.303fan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 A harvey frost question: i found a recovery crane that needed saving, it is for a 109 land rover, what is the size difference with a 88 land rover one? I have a chopped 88 lw and plan to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 (edited) The Renault was inevitable (pulling on one chassis rail), but what caused the synchronous parting of the front tipper's tow hook and the front crossmember of the KRAZ? Can't see how the two (Renault/KRAZ and KRAZ/tipper) are related……. edit: unless the parting of the Renault caused the front rope to momentarily go slack and then snap tight - but I cannot see this effect on the video.

Can't see how the two (Renault/KRAZ and KRAZ/tipper) are related……. Hi Tony, looks like things where at the yield point just as the Kraz driver braked when he felt summat go (brake lights) and the tipper just kept going!

N.O.S. Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Missed that vital clue, Bernard! They'd have had no need for those 3 trucks if Rugged had been there - a couple of big Russians in the back for grip and Pobept's your uncle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
