This programme is compiled mainly from 8mm film taken by Wynn's staff during the 1970s. Over 20 different moves and operations are featured.
Moves include a convoy of six Scammell tractors each with a semi-trailer or flat-top trailer each carrying 4060 ton loads from Alexandra Docks, Newport to LLanwern.
There is rare footage of two of Wynn's large tanker fleet dicharging into a ship at Newport Dock. At Galliwick Bay, Milford Haven the Van der Laan ship 'Maryke Irene' is beached and 'Trackway' laid for a 140 ton vessel, 140ft long and 16ft diameter, to be loaded onto two six line bogies. A 200 ton boring machine for the first Channel Tunnel is shown being delivered to the Dover site. Four Scammell Contractors and a Pacific tackle the 1:6 Buttrells Hill, Newport with a 207 ton stator.
