Taskman:
Gilbraiths ran alot of his tanker fleet with Scammels, in my BRS days i had a Scammel crusader with a Rolls 220 and what a load of rubbish it was,
I started in 1969 at Gilbraith Tankers on a Scammell Highwayman, we had some Routeman’s and Handyman’s with the gate box, and then the newer Handyman’s had the David brown box. We also had a few Trunkers on the gas job before we got the Crusaders and then the Marathons, I got one of the very first in 1974.
This one driven by my Grandad had a gate change box, & a 6LW,Gardner, Reg 1943. Not old enough to drive it, but had many a ride in it im pleased to say, Regards Larry.

I had a few crusaders with the 280 rolls in and they were a fine machine really on top of the job and would blow most foreigners away

I was allocated this old Scammell at Christmas 1969, what a fantastic present. One of the first jobs I got was from Shell Stanlow to Dounreay powere station, a full weeks work.

I remember Tommy Allen’s very well, there were one or two of their tankers on Shell Chemicals when I was.
Was one of the drivers called Lionel and he was about twenty stone?
Another Gilbraith Scammell, we didn’t have many of the Crusaders.

The oldest Scammell I ever drove was this old ex army wrecker. I only drove it a few miles from our yard to the dealers to tow a broken down Leyland. That was plenty far enough.
and a restored wrecker with my wife waiting for the starters orders to race it.

I wish I had some loot, I’d go for that. I used to drive the 8 legger version the routeman, with 220 roller in, or a 680 power plus. The roller was a bit better, murder to do a days work in tho !
