WYNNS ARCHIVE
Volume 15

This programme starts with a large vessel, weighing around 120 tons been delivered to Alexandria Dock Newport ready for loading onto the heavy-lift ship 'Gloria-Sidrum'.

Two Wynns Scammell Contractors are seen moving a 220 tons stator from English Electric, Stafford using a 'Wrekin Roadways' trailer. A Scammell Amazon 100 ton 6 x 4 tractor is seen negotiating the narrow streets of Caerleon with a large cased load from Bridgend bound for Liverpool Docks.

Wynns only bought one Foden tractor unit and its shown on Carnival Queen duty at Newport Carnival. Wynns moved a lot of North Sea Oil Rig modules at the Whessoe Plant Yard, Dock Point, Middlesborough. These moves involved moving very large modules from ships to a pontoon and then offloading them from the pontoon at their final destination.

We see one of these operations being done in collaboration with Sunters. Wynns first 240 ton Scammell Contractor 'Superior' was used along with Sunters Scammell Contractor and a Scania.
