This photo taken at our Museum Store last week shows a 1948 Morris Commercial LC3 Royal Mail van being loaded for transport to Quainton Railway Society.
The van, which has stored by us for years due to its condition, has been transferred to Quainton via our ethical disposals process. Following installation at Quainton the vehicle will be seen by 30-40,000 visitors each year.
Vans made by Morris were used for the collection, delivery and transportation of mail in the United Kingdom for many years. We have a number of Morris vans in our collection, a small number of which you can see on our website or by attending our Museum Store tours.
I like this picture!
