Lorry ids please?

[Richard Farrant]

David,

I made a mistake on my last message, re. position of signs, the OY coming up the hill has the sign on drivers side, which is correct, the Divisional sign would be on passenger side. The OY having its wheel changed, has the sign on the passenger side, but it may be on a Pass plate, which was an early fitment, whereby if a vehicle had broken down and was waiting assistance to arrive, the plate was reversed in its holder to show the word "PASS", so that other traffic knew that the vehicle did not require help. Now I have a feeling the Pass plate holder was on the nearside. They were discontinued early in the War, judging by photo evidence.
