Less pretty, maybe but we're first

MAY I draw your attention to page 18 of Volume 160, No 4086, of Commercial Motor for the week ending September 15, 1984. I refer to the item under the headline "Arran gets first demountable" in which it is stated that the Strathclyde PTE have introduced the first demountable bus since the Thirties.
It may have escaped notice, but this Health Authority introduced a bus on the same chassis in 1981. I would, however, be the first to admit that it is not as pretty as Strathclyde's. In addition to carrying the bus body our chassis also carry goods bodies to various specifications, the most recent being a mobile chiropody unit.
All our demountable equipment was supplied by Ray Smith Demountables Ltd, and the bodies were built by J. S. Keam (Whitstable) Ltd. Chassis currently in use are the Dodge Commando G08 and the Ford D0710.
