Battle of Britain
Parked at Dunstall Park (Wolverhampton Racecourse), two Scammells, a Foden and an ERF of Circus Fantasia.
Born the same year as me (!) GXV372 was part of the Carters fleet until disposed of a few years ago. I forgot to note the registration of the later Highwayman tractor it was sharing the low-loader with.

normally in all yellow or all orange this was one I hadn't seen before - it also has a red ' button ' on the crane base and on the back of the chassis and I believe is part of the BIG MX series introduced in 1972 and because they didn't sell it seems the last year they were available was 1974 .
Unknown Scammell at the Welland Steam Rally - 26.7.24.
From one of those boxes on the floor .
No load to go with this which should consist of containers which are covered by 'plastic' tarpaulins branded MW [ several other issues are available ] but it is unusual to see a playworn item still with its jib and hook in situ.
And it was a Scammell unit so I couldn't leave it !

J Stirland 1967 Scammell Highwayman at some event or other around 1990. There are plenty of other trucks from this fleet on Flickr, but only one other of this, that I can find. It is no longer on the DVLA database.
Scanned from a negative in my collection.

This 1979 Scammell Crusader was seen in its owner's yard in Leith, Edinburgh. Alexander Latto has operated this ex-army wrecker for many years, but recently it seems to have been sitting unused in the company's premises, marked as SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). However, since it was last photographed out on the roads, various work such as repairing rusted panels has been carried out, as well as the front bumper and wing pieces being repainted blue. It's possible that the nearing fifty year old Scammell will return to service in the near future.
