J-types now, and then…
Royal Mail vans SLO 234 (owned by Register member Gary Sumner) and YLH 449 (owned by Register member Gordon Wilson) came together at the Post Office Vehicle Club’s gathering at The Milton Keynes Museum on Sunday 27th April 2014. Gary and Gordon have promised that both vans will grace the J-type Register stand at the Gaydon Classic Van and Pick-up Show on August 10th 2014. We are hoping to get a number of vans to this one!
We have also trawled through Register archives to add a few more shots of vans in service in the ’50s and ’60s and will add more as and when time permits.
