• Bread vans now being put into service in South East London by Associated British Foods are being equipped with bodywork by Wilsdon and Co of Solihull which allows loading and unloading to be carried out completely under cover.
The back of the chassis of the Leyland Redline 550FGs have been shortened to take a recessed version of Ratcliff tail-lifts, the platforms of. which remain horizontal. The tail-lift also forms an extension to the body floor when the vehicle is running, while the rear roller-shutter door operates in the normal way and the bodywork completely encloses the tail-lift. The vehicles, 46 of which are to be supplied to Associated British Foods by December, have an unladen weight of 2 tons 16cwt.
