From Bob Jarvis at 2009-05-20 12:53:04 : After the formation of the GLC this machine was based at K21 Wimbledon and I was one of the driver operators stationed at K21. Later following my promotion I returned to Wimbledon and was also on many occassions in charge of the CBY 1. This pic sure brings back some memories. Where is CBY1 kept these days.
