AUTOMOTIVE historian B. H. Vanderveen, of Redhill, Surrey, rx has this to say of my June 23 picture of an old lorry, captioned as a Bristol: "It looks every inch a wartime Peerless! The Bristols used by the Government during World War I were 29 h.p. Y-type three-tonners. They were operated by the Admiralty and had wormdrive rear axles."
Thank you, Mr. Vanderveen. Admiralty, eh! Now I know the origin of that expression "Shipshape and Bristol fashion"...
