A brace of BR Scarabs
Seen here at in Sussex Showground at Ardingly are a pair of Scammell Scarabs in British Railways' carmine and cream livery. These were a ubiquitous urban sight throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, operating BR's collection and delivery sevices that were subsequently hived off to the National Freight Corporation's National Carriers subsidiary. Both appear to be authentic BR vehicles too: NDN759 is a York-issue registration. York was the headquarters of the old North Eastern Region, while the 1960-issue London registration WLD720 suggests that this served with BR's Eastern Region.
