This PT for Metro Waste has the registration number H 845 DGS
and the picture below supplied to me by the late John Carter, a Paint
Shop Foreman, shows one of the earlier G registration PT’s.
Either
this vehicle or an identical second one was written off after just 8
weeks service when it overturned in Salford. The shortest ever life for
an SD?
From ‘Down-under.’
The
December issue of 'Museum Musings' the Newsletter of the Motor Museum
of Western Australia features their new display of the restored 1925 SD
Freighter. It includes a photo of the vehicle as it is now, and when
purchased by Maurice McGregor.
We reported on this restoration in our Winter 2017 issue.
When was that SD made?
I
spent quite a few hours in January creating a new section on the
website entitled ‘Vehicle Types’. Most of the memories of D vehicles
remain only in the form of photographs which only rarely come with
captions. With the growth of the Facebook Group it has become necessary
to try to give details about these photos. With the help of the Group
from Facebook I have put together a guide on how to arrive at a
description for a photo. I’m sure there’s a lot that could or should be
added, and I’d welcome any comments. You’ll find the guide at Vehicle
Types. You'll find the page here:- Types.html
