| Six well-known service vehicles are visible in this photograph, as are three well-known bald patches (sorry guys!). The location is Brooklands Museum, home to an array of aviation and motor racing exhibits and also now the London Bus Museum collection. Their open day on 22nd October 2017 had service vehicles as a theme, and the resident vehicles were joined by a few other preserved examples. Parked outside the club house were AEC Regent breakdown tender 832J (recently repainted and not yet lettered, it has worn red/cream livery for many years), AEC Militant recovery truck 1456MR (in National Rescue Group brown livery and owned by Andy Lambert, who sent in this photo), and 738J, another AEC Regent tender but this time in all red. Beyond that were the trio of smaller vehicles based here, namely Bedford OSS artic tractor 702B, Ford 100E van 1096F and Bedford CALV ambulance 1492B. All have been featured on LTSV before. The canteen trailer that goes with 702B was undergoing restoration inside the museum and photos of this will be added soon. |
