This is the piece of kit we trained on for rollover, a crackin day out.I went on the rollover course courtesy of Hoyers in the late 90s and like you say it was a cracking day out. It was being run by a couple of Austrian lads at Finningley airfield and as well as the rollover motor we took some tractor units and they had us on the skidpan, then turned the ABS off!!
One guy skidded so far off the skid pan he nearly hit a pylon and a building, they made us brake and steer at the same time and let the ABS take care of everything, which was very difficult for us older ones who learned to ‘control’ skids by feathering brakes and careful steering.
It paid off big time the following week as when I started descending Windy Hill into Lancashire in the centre lane everything suddenly stopped, I couldn’t go right as that lane was full but the guy on my left swerved onto the hard shoulder to avoid the one in front of him, so my newly acquired ABS skills kicked in and braking hard turned my 5day old Scania and 25 tonnes of molten sulphur into the space he had vacated and stopped. The vehicle that had been following me crashed into the one I had been following so it’s a good thing I was out of there, when everything finally came to rest everything around me was damaged but my new Scania was intact except for an unpleasant odour in the cab!
I reckon Hoyers got their money’s worth out of that!
I found a couple of photos of that Scania:
Talk above of refueling aircraft, i thought i ought to post these before they withdraw the Harrier and Jaguar, maybe to late already

Fairly new to ‘Truck Net’, didn’t discover it till I retired!
However I thought that if I searched long enough I would find a pic of something I used to drive, well nearly, end of year 2000 for a couple of months I used to drive the ‘sister’ Hoyer Scania R88(or was it 89?) JUG. Being a twin axle it was only plated at 40 tonnes whilst our triaxle new Scanias were plated at the (then) max of 41 tonnes, however JUG was a ton lighter and had 20 more horses than the new ones so could run Fawley to Graingemouth nearly a half hour quicker! In Feb 2001 when the weight was raised to 44 tonne we were allocated a batch of high cab Scania 420s, they certainly cut down on the gear drops needed to get up hills.
Some shots of the more traditional oil company trucks
A few more oldies from Darham
Nice clear pics as usual sniffy,I like the two Octopussies. 
Going back further again, love the first picture but not sure if it would be allowed nowadays
