Just wounding where the pictures come from.my dad was dave(dai minton one of the driver from sixties to end.then moved to staff.where a.l.e heavy haulage
Wow. I thought I knew all of Wynns Wonders... Not at all. An Eye Opening Video.. Atkinson View Liner... Scania... Wonderful. 44 Tonnes and more of Thanks. Douglas Vick Cheltenham Spa...
@@lynnewayne6898 thanks for that. Very much appreciated love old family businesses that keep going from generating to the next generation. Lots of history. And a great laugh along the way
@@jessicatorretto159 you're welcome. My (ex) husband worked for them from the late 70's until the 90's when Wynns finished but (kind of) merged. They then evolved into Econofreight who finished in 2000 I think! when my then, still husband, started working at GCS Johnson. He retired this year. He worked as Project Manager for all of those companies who were all heavy haulage and mainly abnormal loads. There will be others, more qualified than me, who will know the correct date history. Heavy transport has many knowledgeable followers. My information is taken from a more domestic aspect! 😂 All the companies named can be seen on RUclips 'doing their impressive stuff.' The video music is good. I'm impressed that you play the sax!

The Viewline is from Pickfords, not sure why it's in this video.
My Gramps worked for them for years. Annual Christmas parties in Newport X
I THINK Paul wrote a letter to out family when he died. Frank Leighton.
Are the wynn family still carrying on heavy haulage today ?. Love the sax music you got playing. I play a sax. Awesome instrument
No, they finished maybe 30 years or more ago.

Were some of the early heavy tractor units and trailers ex-Army tank transporters?
Yes. Scammell Pioneer, Diamond T 980/981, Pacific M26 that they had custom coachbuilt cabs fitted to.
Anyone know what happened to Wynns 6x4 Bedford TMs????
Hi, I remember seeing them in Econfreight pale blue and white parked in the Stafford yard, on Common Road.
I imagine a great many of these weird and wonderful devices were built to special order to Wynn's own design.
A lot of special trailers where special orders for Wynne and also custom built a lot heavy tractor units and trailers in house
@@truckinghistorymydiecastco5274 I thought so. They had plenty of strange things I'd never seen before! Thanks for this video, it was an eye-opener!
Your welcome glad you in injoyed
Is the 195 Challenger a Scammell in disguise?
No. Ex American Army M26 Pacific Dragon Wagon with a coachbuilt cab and body and probably a replacement for the Hall Scott petrol engine.
