dsl ◊ 2017-08-15 02:56	26 minute film ("A romantic overview of England in the Elizabethan Age") taken from British Transport Films Volume Two: See Britain By Train 2-dvd set. Can be seen here, but it's all a bit pompous. Strangely for a BTF film, there's no train content or referencing. All entries in the first couple of minutes, including these rejects: - sit-up-and-beg Ford 2-door - 1939 Prefect?? - old van - if GDA 941 = 1948 - white tractor unit with single-axle trailer - if DCH 824 = Derby, 1952 Some nice old houses (not identified - anyone want to play??) -- Last edit: 2017-08-15 12:21:17

Link to "www.tripadvisor.co.uk" Prefect looks right, only built with 2 doors in 1939, Van looks like a coachbuilt gown van on anE83W chassis to me, Tractor may be Bedford S type. -- Last edit: 2017-08-15 08:51:57
