Hi Eddie , I know you have seen this before but a little nostalgic cheer will not go amiss at this time of year!- was the ‘one’ route to Littlemore or to Cowley ?

I’d gladly do a shift on that (if I could get mounted), half cab,(clippie on the back dealing with the great unwashed) a nice AEC, 2 pedals, what’s not to like?

Do y’know Steve, I look at pictures like those and I’m REALLY glad I’m retired. :wink:

Nice post Dan

Would of been an easier job if the pier caps were separate so I could get a dead plum lift using a Lewis pin !

And we think this is a lot of snow even in 1947.
