CBP 87L preserved in 1997
Sorry to hear that Dennis D CBP 87L has been scrapped, having been saved initially. This is a scan of a picture taken at Shoreham Airport on July 1st 1997, when the appliance was part of the Thomas family collection of vehicles, which for a while were displayed adjacent to the historic terminal building at the airport. At this time it was in fine condition and well stowed with equipment as the open locker shot shows. Also on site at this time was West Sussex Dennis R OTR 211S (Shoreham, Arundel & East Preston) which I do not think has survived either.

Great D Type (was once anyway) found a 50cm long craftsman made metal model, would really like a Dennis RS OR Dennis D Type made the scale if I could find the craftsman??

Hi everyone, yes CBP 87L has gone it fell into a state of disrepair at the compound where it was being stored. I understand a couple of farm implements caught it which led to its final demise.
As for OTR 211S this is to the best of my belief still in existence and living in the Thomas Families home garden I suspect its in a hell of a state, I know the family well they are nice people and very approachable, but I understand there is ill health in the family and when I last spoke to them, they did not invite any further communication from me. So I am afraid I cannot comment further.
