I really do hope so. I can't imagine there'd be much left after all those years in and out of the sea, but it would be great to see one of these wagons restored. There were 3 or 4 C9's if I recall, at least one of which had a horrific square wooden cab built on. Cheers CW.

Hi all, Joined up here when I found this thread about the old wagons on the Prom at Blackpool. We spent a lot of happy Saturdays at Blackpool between '67 and '75. I loved these old lorries as a kid, and would always get Dad to fork out for a boat trip we didn't really want so I could go on the wagons! As well as those shown here there were at least two Commers painted orange, and a Morris water tanker still in army green. Here's a few photos, in the one of me looking very innocent in '67 there's a Willy Jeep very far in the distance. Sadly a leaking roof in 1980 destroyed all my photo albums, and I lost at least 20 more pictures of the Blackpool lorries, and the negs. I've got a good few more military show pictures from this era though, so I'll post them up. Cheers Chris Warr
