I notice this one has more modern wheels. Yes the one I was given was definitely a converted airborne and you could still see "Post Office Telephones" lettering on it. It was well gone and we already had a trailer, so swapped it. GPO may have converted trailers originally then made them later perhaps :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosie Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 RosieI see the hat's still a bit grubby from the plains Hows the neck? yep have decided to keep the hat 'original' so it just gets a dust off each time I go out and 'plonk' it goes on me 'ed. Neck is better thanks, have been told-no parachuting, rock climbing, hand gliding etc EVER :shocked: also to take note of notices at theme parks saying 'any back problems shouldn't ride' still get a twinge now and then but I put that down to old age :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
