• We have read with interest the article by The Hawk' (CM 14-20 April 1988) on the Beamish Replica 1913 bus project, and would like to add the
following points.
We were approached by Beamish to carry out a feasibility study of the project in March 1986. We carried out all the research using our own library, with help from London Buses' drawing office and the Covent Garden Museum. This careful research enabled us to produce an exact replica of the 1913 Gateshead CC Daimler.
We are also fortunate in having skilled coachbuilders and fitters who have spent their working lives with our company and have the 'feel' for this type of project.
