R-15, B5FD, SERIAL NUMBER B5….THE MUCH TRAVELLED OLDEST REMAINING NEWHOUSE-BUILT TRUCK STILL ROLLING !! HAVING SPENT LAST 32 YEARS IN RETIREMENT, AND THE LAST 17 MOVING AROUND FROM MUSEUM TO STORAGE ETC, NOW HAS A PERMANENT HOME AT RUSHDEN HISTORIC TRANSPORT MUSEUM, NORTHANTS, AND IS IN REGULAR USE, RECENTLY BEING DRIVEN ON A 5 MILE ROUND TRIP TO A SHOW. 
B5 IN NORTHAMPTON, 1990….PAINTED HILITE GREEN BY PETE MACHIN, INSTEAD OF PARKINSON GREEN AS ASKED FOR….SO HE DID IT AGAIN… 
….AND HERE SHE IS WITH THE HUNSBURY BOYS SAYING GOODBYE IN 1991, AS SHE ARRIVED AT RUTLAND RAILWAY FOR A 10 YEAR STAY…
…AND FINALLY PERFORMING A FEW WEEKS AGO AT A LOCAL CAVALCADE.
ONLY THE GEEEERMANS COULD BUILD SOMETHING AS QUEER AS THIS…NO, NOT MICKY LOHAN, THE LOADER !!
IF ONLY THEY HAD PUT THE V-12 IN TO START WITH !! BILL McINNES DID IT IN AFRICA, AND IT WORKED A TREAT.
