RT Lorry
Seen in Bournemouth in May 1966 is FXT 318, a Trinidad Lake Asphalt tar spraying lorry which is not what it at first seems, since in 1960 it had been made from the chassis of one of the small number of "pre-war" London Transport RTs, RT 143. I believe that it survives today awaiting restoration. The photograph, like many of mine for the period, is rather out of focus, but I still think worth posting for both the subject and the background - such as the long white coat on what appears to be a traffic policeman opn point duty behind the lorry.
