| This photo was provided by Damon and has been sitting on my PC for over 6 years. Recently Derek Everson sent in another photo of the same vehicle and highlighted something rather curious that I had never noticed before. NER790R was a preserved AEC Marshall recovery lorry that masqueraded as a former London Transport service vehicle. A familiar sight at bus rallies in the early 1990s, it initially had open LT roundels and a plain roof dome. The date and location of this photo is not known but it appears to be after 1994 (when it had the open roundels) and before 1997 (when it gained LT lettering on the roof dome). Most significantly however, the vehicle seems to have been converted from 3-axle to 2-axle, with the side pannelling very neatly modified. Comparison to this earlier view shows the difference. |
