Good afternoon to all....

Two pics from the old Hulton Picture Library that probably are a visual sadness...I wonder where they all went ?

Not a Windsor, it is a Loyd Carrier.

IIRC, that pic was from Hamburg, Germany circa 1958. And a Bruce said, they ended up as pots & pans and most likely as BMWs and who-the-hell-knows what-the-hell-else.

It makes one weep. :(

Two very sad pics there,but historical.
The really sad thing is that some heartless scrap dealers are just as happy to scrap them today as they were back then!. :mad:

If they were still all here ours wouldn't be very rare! Or as valuable ;) Pity about the tracks though.

Just checked and yes, a Hamburg scrapyard as Jif says.

The sign says: "Caution. Mortal danger. Admission forbidden" That's a sort of literal translation at least. Doubt that would deter a MLUer for more than a nanosecond!
