Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)

Tyneside Glass; two Vulcan’s with a Morris Commercial FVO (because I think it has the Saurer diesel engine judging by the badge on the grille) between them.

Hi Tyneside , do you remember how those Newcastle Corporation AEC Regent Mk Vs used to roar when braking for a bus stop due to being fitted with “Ashanco” exhaust brakes that were connected to the brake pedal possibly by having a switch pad attached then a cable to the operating solenoid. I vividly remember them pulling up on Scotswood Rd alongside Marlborough Crescent bus station when heading eastbound.
The back of the double decker heading into the city is a Northern Coachbuilders bodied AEC Regent Mk III and the Northern half cab single decker is either an AEC Regal Mk II or a Guy Arab possibly one of the “Kipper Boxes” What is the guy with the Trader tipper playing at ■■?
A great nostaligic set of photos.
Cheers, Leyland 600

Tyneside wrote; I’m not sure if this is a scene from the movie “Payroll” filmed in and around Newcastle or somebody doing a u turn on the Tyne Bridge.
It is the clip from Payroll, I have it copied and watched it a few months back, interesting to see the views around Newcastle back then, also spotted a Steenberg AEC artic parked alongside the Tyne Bridge wall as you come up Bridge St from the Swing Bridge on the Gateshead side. The Trader shown on the Bridge in the film has the same year reg FUP as my Fathers Steenberg four wheeler flat Trader 507 FUP, which went like stink, good nostalgic film though. Franky.

Thanks to DEANB, Buzzer, jaymus, tyneside and Chris Webb for the pics :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: and the craic is going well :smiley:

A fine looking motor ! Not so sure about the reg though! NMP

These aircraft are seen arriving in Liverpool via the Mersey Tunnel. They will have travelled by
ship across the Atlantic Ocean from America, and unloaded at Birkenhead Docks. I Imagine that they
would proceed to USAAF at Burtonwood for completion, and made ready for service.
The M62 motorway, west of the M6, runs parallel with what was the large American airbase at Burtonwood. NMP.

I’m a perfectionist,so I like to try and get things just right. I don’t always succeed but,to quote a great
and famous Frank Sinatra song,That’s Life :slight_smile:

I’ve been trying to correctly identify the make and model of motorcar on the extreme right of the photograph,for the past few hours,and am now at least ninety percent sure that what I’ve written in the caption re the car is correct :slight_smile:

Tyneside QUOTE: I think most towns or cities had a car park or car sales pitch on a demolition or bomb site in the 40’s & 50’s UNQUOTE.

The Ford Y 8HP has a radiator grille that’s been modified with that central silver metal central bar;the
Ford dates from 1935. The British Chrysler Wimbledon was built in Kew,Surrey,and was based on
the American-built Plymouth marque.
