A wartime grey-painted 1930 Vulcan-bodied AEC Regent, OG 421 – the last without the platform cutaway and opening upstairs rear window – pulling a producer-gas trailer in 1943.

During the Second World War some buses towed trailers that made gas from solid fuel, to save petrol. Voices of Kingstanding shows this 1943 example on its wartime memories page.

Notes

The file name on Voices of Kingstanding (“warren farm rd 1”) suggests Warren Farm Road, but the location is not stated.
