| This photo appears on Phil's Flickr site, where the date and location are given as June 1986 at Chiswick Works. While I was preparing this photo I realised this couldn't be right. The buildings in the background are recognisably the ones adjoining the van yard at Acton Works, while the Freight Rover Sherpa van in the background was new in March 1988. This solves a puzzle though, as I was thinking that the van does not look like a current service vehicle. Bedford CF van MHY272Y was leased by LT in late 1982 and used by Publicity and Advertising section. Official records show it being returned to Hertz in March 1987. This would account for the lack of lettering in this photo, and also the various badges on the radiator and windscreen, and maybe even the slightly worn appearance of the paintwork. I would guess that it was by then in private use, perhaps by a member of staff. |
