Prepared for War!

A re-created scene on the cobbled street of Beamish Museum town shows two typical World War 1 vehicles preparing to make their way to the battlefront.

In the foreground is a rare and mostly original 1919 Crossley 25/30 Royal Flying Corps (RFC) Tender. This example, registered BK 3298, includes engine no. 13364 and chassis no. 12072. Although it is described as an RFC vehicle, the fact that the Royal Air Force (RAF) came into existence in 1918 suggests that this may always have been an RAF vehicle.

Bringing up the rear, and paying a brief but very welcome visit to Beamish Museum, is a magnificently restored 1914 London General Omnibus Company "B-Type" bus, decked in the livery as applied when it went of to play it's part on the Western Front in World War 1. The bus is B2737 and is registered LH-8186.

There is more information on this bus on the London Transport Museum website at:-
www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/projects-partnerships/batt...

The vehicles were at Beamish as part of the Great North Steam Fair of 2015.
