Yet another reason for facemasks.
Borrowed my dad's brand new 1958 to take my date to the high school prom. It was the third generation with the full size rear window version though.Sure you could get the early one, I think up to around 1953 and tell everyone you have a split window. It's the new C8 green colour.View attachment 103746View attachment 103746
Now that would really interfere with a game of road hockey!
Actually they are putting the stretcher into the engine. No air ambulance in those days so a lone engine was the fastest way to get to the nearest hospital.Now this is a real corker, why is there a flatbed at the side of the van? If they are passing the patient out of the engine, the first problem is, I think; the stretcher would roll as they only have 3 corners supported. If they hang on to the stretcher then you'd have 3 guys holding it on a van roof with no way to move to set it down. I'm guessing its at that point they could only move towards the left side of the van and dump the patient overboard. That's why there is a flatbed wagon on that side!
Yes Rruuff, but even the logistics of getting a stretcher lifted to the roof of the van and then getting on the roof to lift it into the train engine, without dropping the patient, would be difficult.Actually they are putting the stretcher into the engine.

Caaaarrrrr.. wait.. what?Now that would really interfere with a game of road hockey!
Ya know, its one thing to check yer mirror and find a transport truck on you're rear, but it'd be quite another to find the rear view fill with a Locomotive. I think it would be a CYP moment!
