There are two listed on Milweb.net in the Heavy
vehicle section. One in Germany somewhere and
another in Shropshire England.

Heh...
There's an AEC Militant Recovery Truck listed
If you really want a Scammell, I'm sure Nigel Hay
too. I was for a time, waffling between spending
money on a post war Foden 8x8 Flat Bed truck or a
WWII Leyland Hipp 10 Ton Truck for a time.
Amazing thing about the Hippos is that they were
more or less in service with some units up to the
late 80s!
can hook you up with someone looking to sell one.
Of course then, I'd con you into doing a REME
impression and twist your arm to make you turn
out with us odds and sods that re-enact WWII
British. :-)
