Don't you just love it !

Post by 1098 »

[frame]Image[/frame] Well folks, XXD 472,has sat in my garage for years. Ex GPO Telephones, I've never been able to find out where it operated,even the Post Office vehicle club drew a blank.
Taking a break from preparing UXH for the journey to Charlbury,I had a rummage around XXD. I noticed a bit of paper stuck in the joins of the (early van ) headlining,and pulled it out. What a find, it's a work instruction to the telephone engineer,and singed, Telephone Manager Coventry !So, Coventry,is where it worked,what a result ! :wink:
