Hi Nick,

I was puzzling this before Robin replied. At first I thought bit was Broughton, but then realised the Vehicle Depot was correctly named Church Broughton and the initials CBR. Unless of course, someone entered up the details and put their own interpretation. I have searched though a list of vehicle depots and cannot see any that line up, unless maybe it was an overseas depot.

Unless it was COD Branston ? The abbreviation could fit, ..........................COD: Central Ordnance Depot
