  CV-240-12, s/n 153. Delivered to Sabena 19 March 1949 and registered OO-AWP. WFU 1957 and later carried registrations SP-LPA, N653W, and LN-KAP. WFU for good June 1973 and scrapped at Oslo, Norway.

  Nothing much to add here either even if I have it as wfu 31 Dec 1972. Official manufacturing date was 3 March 1949 so we have a more narrow photo window than the 440 shown later. Stig

  2nd thoughts - photo must be after "5/1950" when the bus was new.

  Were you only allowed have your goggles down when belting along an open road?
  
  And at least they didn't have to use the other day's boot mechanism to hold their rifles!
