In the first of four articles Malcolm Bates, former Shelvoke & Drewry Publicity Manager, writes about "The Forgotten Public Service Vehicles" in the February 2010 issue of Roadscene.
As we might expect the article has a strong bias towards S&D. Of the ten photographs with the article no less than six relate to the Company, and include one three quarter page photo and one full page one. There is good coverage of the Fore & Aft tipper.
Malcolm uses his trademark enthusiastic journalistic style and I think many readers will want to follow this series. Vintage Roadscene is now published by Ian Allen Publishing Ltd. on the third Friday of the month previous to cover date.

In the March issue which is ON SALE NOW Malcolm tells of the arrival of the Pakamatic in response to the need for greater compaction of refuse. The article includes a fine photo of the restored "1922" Freighter alongside a 'TY' Revopak. It's good to see S&D reported in this way.
A Maltese Mystery.

When Liam Millar from Renfrewshire, Scotland, visited Malta recently he found the S&D 'N' type pictured on the left under repair at Richies Garage near Zejtun. The vehicle had been involved in an accident. Liam noticed that the vehicle had three windscreen wipers and he wondered why these were specified. Can anyone help with an answer for Liam, please?
In the meantime I discovered an archive photo from Richies Garage that had been copied and sent to me by Jaap Mikkers, which shows the same vehicle at an earlier time. [Above right.] There are still a considerable number of S&D's operating in Malta.
