Hi Nicholas
Here is a picture of Bob Poggiani’s Scammell Scud.
I took this photo when we were stuck at the Telex Motel in Ankara, en route to Doha, waiting for the Gulf War to start.
It was a real flying machine and had a Jake brake too.

That Barretts & Baird eight legger looks something,I notice the cab is set forward and lowered,so it might not be as high as it looks.

Nuttals,now there’s a name from the past,came from Rochester or somewhere I think.

Nice pics,what a find!

That one of nuttalls eurolink brought back some memorys,i used to work for nutts in the 70s.

Glad you liked the photos chaps ,that scammell looks really high?

I drove a Leyland Roadtrain for Tesco’s with a rolls royce engine (some were badged perkins) it never broke down and they kept them till they were scrapped, the fleet went all scania after that.
