| Details: Here is another of the 1980s Inspector's vans, this one being Bedford Astra van 3466B new in late 1986. It shows two features common to these vehicles, namely the roof-mounted roundel with the original inset sections not quite fitting the later shaped frames, and also the side lettering that seemed prone to rubbing off in places. 3466B was only used for 2-and-a-bit years, though we have listed it as being allocated to West Ham, Enfield and Wood Green during that time. However, I think the West Ham allocation may be incorrect. Being photographed at Edmonton Green Bus Station in February 1987, it was no doubt already based at Enfield. The minibus in the background is slightly interesting. London local authorities operated many minibuses for social welfare work, this seeming to be a London Borough of Enfield Bedford CF type. What is notable is the way in which a full-height door has been provided in the high-roof bodywork. Do you remember when you had to go to a travel agent to book a holiday? | ||
