Description

A Scammell Pioneer Tank Transporter recovers a General Grant tank in the Western Desert in 1942. The recovery of of tanks from the battlefield was the responsibility of the both the RASC (Royal Army Service Corps) and the REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) and played an important role in the Army's, what would be called today, logistics.
The tank transporter variant of the Scammell Pioneer tractor was produced in relatively small numbers with only 574 being recorded as manufactured between 1938-45 but nevertheless were fondly regarded by their crews and even preferred by some to the more powerful Diamond T tractor unit of American manufacture available under Lend Lease to the British. Scammells were virtually indestructible and many Pioneers post-war continued to serve as fairground prime movers and in various capacities such as breakdown vehicles where a top speed of about 28mph wasn't a disadvantage.
