List
Thanks for that!
In the Ian Allan Archives I found reference to the Bedford-Scammell articulated bus..special permission had been given to them running in service. Last edited by David_Hayward (RIP); 30-06-10 at 09:32.

Quote:
Just to clarify, the Bevin Bus was not a Scammell, the trailers were made by R.A. Dyson and British Trailer Co., and bodywork by C.H.Roe.

Gents, another government OXC was the articulated trailers for the Min of Works flying squads who carried out emergency repairs and construction. Each squad was 60 tradesmen the convoy carried all their tools and also contained self sufficient accomodation. there is a picture on page23 of Ian Allan Bedford Trucks in Camera by john Reed, The artic buses were for the Min Supply for munitions etc factories.

Roe
Now you mention it, there was a reference in a mag article from around 1941/2 in the Ian Allan photo archive in the Charles Roe section about their bodywork for artic buses.

Vintage roadscene
This is just to confirm that the August 2010 issue of VINTAGE ROADSCENE is now out. I include numerous lovely shots of Luton's production lines in August (?) 1940, just before the plant was bombed, and also trucks ready to be delivered. It is my tribute to those who lost their lives. I include some of my own researched history on the Luftwaffe units involved and why.
