Hi The first two pictures are of Scammell Explorer's . They came as either a 6 X6 tractor or recovery tractor. I am no expert (on anything trust me) but I think both pictured are both original recovery tractor's The tractor could transport tanks etc but only as drawbar tractor see(not mine) picture The Explorer nickname is a coffee pot Scammell due to the header tank on top of the radiator looking like a coffee pot

The other Scammell pictured is a Junior Constructor 6x4 Heavy Haulage tractor that was converted in 1960s to a recovery tractor .

I remember having a model as a kid with a Centurion tank on the back.
If only I'd kept all that sort of stuff, at least the ones that escaped me deliberately setting them on fire

Our mobile machinery mechanic is the best mechanic ever.
I knew it the moment he arrived in his work van.
