| Details: The mainstay of London Transport's bus recovery fleet from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s were ten Ford D1110 towing lorries. These short-wheelbase lorries had open bodywork with fixed sides and a small crane for lifting items such as replacement wheels. They were capable of towing any type of bus, though if a suspended tow was required, one of the larger Master Breakdown tenders would have to be called out. 1990F was based at Southall Garage (previously known as Hanwell but renamed to avoid confusion with Hanwell Trolleybus Depot) apart from a few months based at Merton shortly before it was withdrawn in 1985. It was seen at Southall Garage on 18th November 1977. | ||||
