50th Anniversary of the Midland Red D9
14th June 2009
<-- Index | Showing 1-25 of 25 pictures | Index -->
On a glorious June weekend the iconic D9 celebrated fifty years, in an event held at The Black Country Museum. The emphasis was quite rightly on the D9 but other Midland Red vehicles came along to support the day. The day attracted many former BMMO employees, from all divisions of the company, who added plenty of extra character to the day, with their stories of their times with 'the Red'.
