About this deal

PD2/1: Although the prototype was called PD2 when it appeared in 1946, carrying an Alexander-built Leyland design body identical to those on PD1, and carrying the evocative (and very non-standard) chassis number EX1, it was decided that the initial production version would be called the PD2/1. The PD2/1 shared 26ft by 7ft 6in chassis dimensions and 16ft 3in wheelbase with the PD1, and had a similar triple-servo vacuum braking system, the first true PD2/1 (a pre-production bus) was chassis number 470848 which had the first standard Leyland body for the PD2, it went to Birmingham Corporation, who registered it HOJ396 and operated it until 1968. Central SMT had a PD1 with PD2 engine and transmission, chassis number 47009, which they registered CVA391. The first production PD2/1 complete with Leyland body went to Todmorden Joint Omnibus Committee, in July 1947 and another early example went to the Northern Ireland Road Transport Board. Birmingham Corporation Transport followed up its initial interest by taking no fewer than 200 with bodies by Brush Coachworks Ltd (100), Leyland and Park Royal (50 each) until 1949 as part of a complete fleet replacement which ran from 1946 to 1954 and included tramway and trolleybus replacement. The standard Leyland body for the PD2 differed only slightly from that on the PD1, by having the front offside mudguard extended around the front of the cab, where the PD1 had the cab front panel sweeping down to a lower level. The West Riding Automobile Company of Wakefield took 65 Leyland-bodied PD2/1 buses and one, BHL682, has been preserved at the Dewsbury Bus Museum and restored to "as built" condition. A 1948 example for Weardale Motor Services, KPT 909, is preserved as part of the Science Museum Group holdings. [28] Gary, one of Swinscoe’s six children, of whom four are still alive, took his father’s disappearance particularly hard and dedicated years of his life to searching for him, combing fields and abandoned buildings, and hiring a private investigator.

PD2/2 was reserved for an air-braked 7ft 6in wide Titan, but it became one of a number of codes raised but not produced. [29] She said the time that had passed since the murder had made inquiries challenging. After the colliery in Pinxton closed, many people who lived in the area had moved elsewhere, including abroad. “These are the people we need to speak to who may have the vital information we need,” she said. “If you lived in Pinxton around the time of Alfred going missing on 20 January 1967, we need to hear from you.”As is all too evident - especially in our media-savvy age - who gets noticed when they disappear, and which victims remain unknown with their disappearance going largely unnoticed (and why), is determined by the interplay of a number of factors. How did those combine to allow the vanishing of teenaged Tess Dawes to remain unexplained to this day? Among the new features was the E181 7.4-litre engine, which was a development of a pre-war 6.2-litre unit used in some TS8 Tigers and the sole LS1 prototype. The revised bore dimensions came from the version used in later models of the Matilda tank. It was a six-cylinder pushrod OHV unit, which developed 100bhp at 1.800 rpm and 328 lb ft of torque at 1,150 rpm. These were slightly better figures than the larger pre-war design 8.6-litre OHC engine, but fuel economy was also superior, although it was a much harsher-sounding engine. The TD7's flexible engine mounting was not 100% successful and so the PD1 reverted to a rigid engine mounting. The gearbox was a four-speed and reverse constant-mesh unit, with helical gear trains for second and third gear. Brakes, as standard, were triple-servo vacuum. A new, larger, radiator was fitted and its filler-cap was offset to the nearside to allow the driver's cab to be wider, the nearside windscreen pillar running down the vehicle centre-line. [18] From 1937, a 24-volt electrical system and the oil-engine, both previously optional, became standard, the frame had greater depth over the front wheel arches and a new 7.4-litre push-rod overhead-valve (OHV) petrol engine, known within Leyland as the Mark III, was built for Bournemouth and Eastbourne. [14] TD6 [ edit ]

Though just to confuse things, there was also the unique Barton "super-low-height" bus, which had a lowbridge body on a lowheight chassis It was only 12ft 6in high ! I don’t know a single lesbian irl that holds the views expressed in the BBC article, but it’s no coincidence that they’re the ones platformed by main media… pitting minorities against one another is an age-old tactic for reducing our ability to challenge conservative structures The force said Swinscoe’s killer, or killers, would have driven to the field on Coxmoor Lane where he was buried. “This is significant, as in 1967 not many people had access to a car in the Pinxton community,” Crutchley said.

Leyland, 6–cylinder, petrol (until 1939) or direct-injection diesel from 1933, standard by 1938, see text. She cites things such as social media, people’s opinions and even a survey of 80 people as sources during her apparent investigation. A trio of schoolgirls at Lowbridge High School look for ways to entertain themselves. They have the usual concerns: sport, boys and having fun without their parents’ anger crashing around them. Then a Lowbridge girl goes missing and everything changes. The people of the town close ranks – perhaps to protect the guilty? – and the mystery remains unsolved. Leading edge Australian publisher Ultimo Press presents Lowbridge, a debut novel by Lucy Campbell. A murder mystery with themes of wealth, power, gender choices, small town politics and grief, Lowbridge is a gripping quintessential Aussie crime fiction tale.
