Default Thanks Bill

Yes, I have got the data already but not in jpg form that I can send out to people thanks. Please always send out anything that anybody might think I might need, as it is always useful.

The Leyland mystery deepens! COMMERCIAL MOTOR 25 September 1936 that reported on the WD Trials referred to the Leyland as being a Cub. The DND were also considering buying the Cub as well at the time. They had a Terrier of circa 1930/1 vintage and in late 1936 wanted the Toronto subsidiary to build the Cub under licence to provide the 6-wheel FAT that was required.

Would the Morris-Commercial on trial have been a CD or CD/SW [it was a FAT version]?

This is the 1936 Diesel Thorneycroft again [WOF/DC4?]

As regards MCC, for the 1938 Trials they presented a 15-cwt [CS8?] 4-wheeler with Saurer diesel engine. GM presented Chevrolet, GMC and even an Opel truck!
