Old Pond Publishing is now able to offer the trucking DVDs distributed by Nynehead books, originated by Roundoak and CP Productions.
Since the early 1990s Pete Connock and Martin Phippard of CP Productions have taken annual trips to see and film examples of the most powerful, exciting and unusual examples of trucking around the Western world. Their visits to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Sweden and elsewhere have all produced footage of configurations and large-scale work unlikely to be found in the UK.
Pete Connock works as a full-time driver while Martin Phippard, semi-retired, is still in the transport industry. Both are privileged to join in with the activities they film, resulting in plenty of in-cab shots and drivers’ action. Their latest programme, Show Time!, takes us to Switzerland to look at the particular features of the Swiss trucking industry. The DVD includes the Interlaken truckers’ festival and a memorable session with a T-line Scania logger with independent trailer steering at work on steep hairpins in the Swiss mountains.
All CP Productions programmes are fully scripted with a clear narration.
These DVDs are available to order here. For further information please contact Heather Jarrold: [email protected], phone 01473 238200. A checklist of titles follows; a short catalogue will be available from 7 October.
