The Brits tend to over kill any job but this takes the cake for me!! Five guys on a recovery crew in One truck.
Must have been designed by a Pommie( British) public servant who was empire building. BTW that model Scammell was still in service in the NZ Army in the early 70's.The Brits tend to over kill any job but this takes the cake for me!! Five guys on a recovery crew in One truck.
Yeah I didn't see any type II diabetes in that rigging crew.
Watch the Video "Last of the Giants" on youtube, It's about the days of the last of steam locomotives when labor was a reasonable cost of doing business. The Union Pacific roundhouse complex in Cheyenne Wyoming employed 5,000 people over 3 shifts in the heyday of steam power. Those guys knew their stuff and were indispensable in those days.Seems like there was a job for everyone in those days. People worked and used their minds to build that stuff and use it. Now we have outsmarted ourselves by complicating so many of these tasks, creating far reaching reaching social consequences.The out of control homeless camp in our old yard might be one example.Places like that havent been heard of since the great depression of the 30 s.
