Details: This is Dodge Commando G1685 dropside lorry 2304D, new in December 1981. It is carrying grey livery with the twin stripes used from about 1985 though with a later form of lettering. It was photographed on Salter Street, in the industrial area amid the tangle of railway lines between Willesden and Old Oak Common. And it was evidently out of use, with no tax discs and a missing offside rear wheel (with seemingly minimal propping). Another Dodge Commando (2314D) was parked behind. The location is close to the works used by Bus Engineering Ltd following the closure of Chiswick, but the lorries were in fact owned by a company that provided mobile generators. Many were used for spares or storage, and this example was last licensed in June 1991 (when it was sold by CDS). The photo is thought to have been taken in December 1991.

Ray	Looking at Google maps, these are no longer on site (surprise!) but it would appear that they are parked on Fortune Way rather than Salter Street which was just around the corner. The building behind is still there and little changed.	Tue 10/11/2009, 20:07
