Back in the days when running a heavy vehicle wasn't quite as expensive as it is now much fun was to be had at Avon Dassett Quarry. ' Heavy ' weekends were run a couple of times a year and we entertained ourselves either driving, or watching others in the mud. You just can't buy mud of that quality these days. Lets get these old videos saved before they deteriorate any further. Camera work by John Bodsworth I believe.

i defy anyone to not be rooting for the old girl to get out by her own steam, addictive and enthralling to watch :)

GO ON GIRL!!!! Happy memories of my old explorer i had to sell back in 1994 when my business went bust. 😪 i think he needs different tyres on that or new ones! Like mine not much tread left of the old sand tyres! Proper job though she got out!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂👍🏻🇬🇧

The Dinky Toy model of that still resides in my collection, must have been around 1958-9 it was described as a Tank Recovery Vehicle to go with my Centurion Tank and Transporter (still got those too! Those are tyres that will have an almost impossible job of supplying traction in those conditions first time.

Trying to get out of the hole the Scammell was 6x3 or 6x4 at best, diff locks would have made a big difference, but he got clear in the end, well done.

Shouldnt you put tracks on both pairs of rear wheels on such terrain?

@donalddodson7365 4 года назад

Why are not the rear axles "locked" and spinning when the front axle is spinning? My circa 1967 US Army Deuce in Vietnam had a lock up selector that would lock all 6 wheels, combined with the low range low gear for amazing crawling.
