| Details: Out of a total of over 5000 service vehicles operated since 1939, two in particular stand out as being the most distinctive and impressive. 1456MR and 1457MR were AEC Militant breakdown tenders acquired from the MoD in 1966 when they were just 2 years old. Until replaced by smaller Leyland Freighter units in the early 1980s these were the principal bus recovery vehicles, and were based at Camberwell and Cricklewood respectively. The picture above shows 1456MR crossing Chelsea Bridge with a trainer RT on suspended tow. Following behind is Leyland Titan PD3/1A Breakdown Tender 1416LD, also based at Camberwell. | ||
