Absolutely great to see this old one back in service on the Thames Karbine, albeit looking slightly more modernised. Great angle from on the river despite the weather.
I have some articles about her sent to me by Atlas Transport & Trading in the early 1980's which I must get round to digging out of the loft some time, should make interesting historical reading now.
Regards
John J.
