| Ford Thames Trader lorry 1178F is seen in what I believe is Shepherds Bush Bus Garage in 1966. New in 1961 it was allocated to the Works and Building Engineer at Parsons Green right up until its withdrawal in 1972. Fitted with a crew-cab (lacking side windows and with a door on the nearside only) and a half-tilt cover, it also had an Epco crane according to official records. The original SUP15 publication listed this lorry (and similar 1179F) as being in Green and Grey livery. Some lorries new in the early 1960s did have grey cabs and green bodywork but this pair appear to have always been all green. Visible in the background is Leyland Titan Railway Breakdown Tender 1276LD. |
