| Back to Salter Street (Willesden) again, I chose this photo more for the red lorry visible on the right than the main subject. The grey lorry is Dodge Commando 2314D, which has been shown at this location before. However, this view shows that, even though these lorries were not licensed, they were moved around a bit. The side lettering had been overpainted, leaving just the pinstripes and roundel on the front, and a wheelclamp had been applied. The red lorry is the former 2199F, a Ford D0710 box truck previously used by LT as a railway breakdown tender. The January and February 1992 issues of TLB (The London Bus) state that eight lorries were used by this firm, comprising six grey Dodges along with 2199F and similar 2140F. I then went back to my photo folders and found that both James and Derek had indeed photographed the two Fords here in 1991. Perhaps I will upload one of those photos next time round. 19th March 1991. |
