This is really

Scammell although inevitably many are included. 136 pages, soft
back colour and b/w. Thoroughly good read and highly recommended. |

Without doubt
the most comprehensive story of the Pioneer. Contains full detailed
history, specification, production figures etc. 101 pages, soft
back (roughly A4) b/w and colour. If you are particularly interested
in the Pioneer this book is a must. Outstanding! |

| Review |
Not specifically
about Scammell (also covers makes such as AEC, Thornycroft, Albion
etc). Very detailed book with a brief history of each manufacturer
and then an in depth look at each vehicle type. The Scammells
covered include: the Pioneer, Explorer and Constructor. 172 pages,
Hardback (roughly A4) b/w period shots (well reproduced!) and
colour contemporary shots. Excellent book, again highly recommended. |

Excellent video
of original Army Kinematograph Service training film from 1942/43
covering the Pioneer SV/2S recovering amongst other things a
Churchill tank. Also includes footage of Tank transporters (both
Pioneer and Diamond T). If your into the Pioneer you'll love
this. |

| Review |
Video version
of original Army Kinematograph Service training film from 1946
showing the work of a beach recovery section. Includes Sherman
BARV, Ward La France, D8 Cat, DUCK and of course a Pioneer. Not
as much on Scammell as the video above but still fascinating. |
