Scammell recovery 2010

Scammell recovers Scammell at War and Peace show trial 2010
The Casualty was bellied out with the fuel tank against the bank, and the rear bodywork and mudguard are dug into the same bank. The bent front mudguard has already been jacked off the wheel before recovery commenced.

The plan was to winch at an angle to prevent the casualty (see why this becomes an operation?) going further into the next hole, the driver is powering the wheels in order to steer against the winch to protect the fuel tank which is against the bank, this did not work.

Winch truck one then repositioned to get a better line, trying to steer against the winch did not work, air powered steering is not the best in this situation, it has to be said.

The next plan was to attach winch truck two to pull the casualty straight forward to save the tank and rear mudguard from further damage, and when past the bank the main winch truck would take over and pull it out sideways.

For some reason when winch truck two revved his engine and started to winch nothing happened, no idea why though, forgot to ask.

As you can see the casualty came out but with further damage to the rear wing.
