Beefsteak 305 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 To be honest , I'm a child of the 60s and I have a vague recollection of this happening . Maybe wrong I may have just read it somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firbeck 859 Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 This vehicle was used for Vivian Fuchs and Edmund Hillary's crossing of the Antarctic in 1957/1958, it's a Tucker Sno-Cat, built in the USA, and the company still exists and manufactures them today, although a different, more modern design. This one did the rounds after the expedition returned to the UK in 1958, we photographed it in the centre of Peterborough, opposite the cathedral during a trainspotting trip 27th May 1958.
