| 402W was one of many AEC Regal lorries introduced in 1939 following conversion from T-class single-deck buses and coaches. 402W had originally been Green Line T227 and, after rebuilding, was allocated to Leyton Garage as a towing vehicle. In June 1944 it was damaged in an air raid, requiring a new body to be fitted the following year. It returned to Leyton but moved further out to Hertford in 1949, and remained there for most of the following decade. Converted from petrol to oil engine in 1954, it was eventually withdrawn and sold in 1960. This photo shows it leaving the main entrance of Chiswick Works in 1956. The lorry usually ran on trade plates, and carried 014GF from December 1955 until it was withdrawn. |
