*T* - Scammell Pioneer, REME Museum of Technology, UK

Vehicle type
Tractor Heavy Breakdown 6 x 4 Scammell Pioneer Model SV1S

Current location
REME Museum of Technology, Arborfield, Berkshire, UK

Condition
This vehicle had undergone a modification in service. The main frame of the crane was locked into position and the horizontal jib and stays removed. A larger pulley was fitted in the fork of the main frame and this could take the cable of the hand winch. This winch provided the lifting force for the crane, or it could take the main chassis winch cable. To use this to lift a vehicle casualty placed a great strain on the cable, forcing it to bend in a sharp curve under the rear winch rope upper guide roller. It is intended to restore the Museum's Scammell SV1S to its original specification (from Museum website – link below)

History
This SV1S became the unit recovery vehicle of 13 Command Workshop REME at Aldershot and was subsequently presented to the Museum. (from Museum website – link below)
