Wynns Diamond T and Pacific heavy trucks 

this brings back memories, my dad used to drive for Wynns, those were the days when you had to know how to drive,

My Dad worked at O G Barnards in Stowmarket, Suffolk in the 60's & they had a Diamond T wrecker!

Cracking footage. Thanks for posting

Thanks for posting this video. Thanks to you and RU-vid, these heavy trucks and some of the stories about them will live forever, on-line.

I used to have all of the episodes on VHS, but the tape snapped, now I remember, there was also a show called classic plant which examined the history of earthmoving equipment and the like. Those were the days.

Classic Trucks was a documentary series broadcast on Channel 4 in 1995, looking into the history of commercial vehicles. John Peel was the narrator of the series. Episodes MONSTERS (14/02/1995) EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY (07/02/1995) DOOR TO DOOR (31/01/1995) TICKET TO RIDE (24/01/1995) SPARKS FLY (17/01/1995) AMERICAN GIANTS (10/01/1995)

That was the time when heavy haulage drivers were drivers.... excellent video

You are correct, this clip and "Pickfords Heavy Haulage" was screened as "Classic Trucks"- sadly I only caught one episode

SUPERBE REPORTAGE

I think this is from the old series "Classic Trucks" episode 6,"monsters" which begins with a Cat 789 then moves onto heavy haulage. I am pretty sure that is where this is from but can't find the series anywhere. A Pickfords clip elsewhere is also from the same episode too. This program was on in the 90's.

Hi Ken, I had the pleasure to know one of the Wynne's drivers Ian Trick from Newport. He was totally Prod of working for Wynnes. Did you know him? Also I believe Steve Roberts owns on of the Diamond T's Nigel James ex Snap-on dealer Newport 1995 to 2000

those Pacific M26 units where 11 feet wide & had a Supercharged Cummins 320

Anyone got the 'Road Builders' episode that they're able to upload? Been looking for that everyone but can't seem to find it.

that clips great,is the rest available anywhere on dvd or vhs

just had to watch this again.I no some of the ex Wynns Scammel contrators and the super Pacific go to the GDSF but is there anyother events before that they can be seen at

Is anyone taking their Diamond T 980/1 to the Dorset Steam Fayre this year?

I think there were only 6 episodes. I remember one with an old tar machine and another with farm machinery - I think I will post a clip!
