WUY322R FordD/Carmichael HP SS263 H&W
Scary overhang here - was on the run at Stn 27 Redditch, H&WFB. She was new in 1977 and gave long service until around 1996 when the HP at 27 was dis-established, but replaced by a Volvo x6 chassis but with the original booms from WUY322R fitted (after retesting & refurbished). The 'new' HP was then moved to Bromsgrove stn.25.
Late Alastair Collins collection - used with permission.

Probably this was about the best compromise at the time, broth long wheelbase tandem axle chassis with a rear steering axle were available in the UK.
