| Slightly more successful in LT service than the Bedford TL was the Dodge Commando type. Ten of these were bought in the last few months of 1981, followed by a further seventeen in 1983-1985. 2304D was one of the first ten (all of which had CGT3--X registrations) and was one of the largest, being a long dropside lorry based on the G1685 model. 2303D was similar and delivered in the same month, although it had the earlier design of front panel. 2304D was photographed whilst it was part of the CDS vehicle display at the Chiswick Works open day on 11th August 1985. Destined to last nearly ten years, it was one of several lorries to pass (in 1991) to a mobile generator company based very near the relocated Bus Engineering Ltd premises in Willesden. Licensing data suggest that it was never used as anything more than a static store, and was presumably scrapped not long after. |
