After being out of action for several years, the crane is about to be reunited with it’s fully refurbished boiler.
New firebox, cross tubes, flue and an entirely new base section including foundation ring should provide many years of new life to this interesting exhibit.
Subject to passing the necessary statutory examinations we should be in steam by spring 2020
Operation Market Garden - Netherlands
September 2019
Following a request from the organisers we attended the 75th commemoration of the events of September 1944, as depicted in the film “A Bridge Too Far”, with our 2 Scammell Pioneer vehicles.
About 240 vehicles, ranging in size from motorcycles to Sherman tanks took part in the event, which followed the 30 Corp support route from Lommel up towards Arnhem.
To take part in such an event, to be welcomed by so many of the towns and villages en route and to understand
the horrors of the campaign was a humbling experience.
For those who are interested, there are several videos on YouTube.
