Thornycroft Nubian DP3 bad condition

The remains of what may well be one of two surviving (just!) Thornycroft Nubian DP3s formally with the Royal Air Force. Seen on the 22/6/2009 at a scrapyard in Southport, Merseyside.

Thanks for this Barrie, and what a shame.

I've just asked my mate Alan to go and find it or buy it??

Barrie where is the other DP3 located ?

Added by Gordon Smith on 23 September 2009.
I think Steve Shirley has one in his vast collection of ex RAF machines

Barrie I don't think Steve has one of these, I may be wrong. The only other I know of is in a hanger on Malta

I'm really surprised to see that at least one other DP3 is in existence (sort of!). I don't think Steve Shirley has a DP3, he would have mentioned it to us at the Malta Historic Vehicle Trust. Our DP3 (ex RAF Luqa) is intact though in need of a lot of tlc. Pics of it can be seen on our website at www.maltahistoricvehicles.com
