| Details: Taken at Hertford Garage in May 1987 (as was the previous photo), this view shows Gatwick Engineering Ford Transit van C553NFG leaving. This van had been new to London Country Bus Services as 70F in September 1985, this being the penultimate number allocated in their main service vehicle series (there were also service vehicles numbered in the 578F to 586F range as well as a few other oddities, while 71F was allocated to another Transit also new in September 1985). I haven't been able to find out when Gatwick Engineering closed down. The Companies House website lists a Gatwick Engineering Company Ltd incorporated in April 1986 and dissolved in December 1996, though the only address given is that of accountants Touche Ross in Birmingham. Note the traditional 'Fire Station' just inside the garage doors, the sand buckets having by then been replaced by extinguishers. | ||
