Dennis Condor - Metsec (Duple) P6260959revS
More photographs recently donated to Aldridge Transport Museum that came from the collection of the late Doug Rushton, who was part of the design team at Metsec and previously Crossley and Duple.
Official shots of the prototype Dennis three-axle for China Motor Bus, Hong Kong, one a posed shot of the completed bus and one of it being tilt-tested, probably at the military MVEE test facility at Chobham, conveniently close to the Dennis factory (hence the Surrey trade plates). The bus became DL1 in the CMB fleet and just about survives.
By chance, I visited the Duple factory in Blackpool to see the bus being built; my photograph is at flic.kr/p/2aP9vst .
