Maidstone Corporation Trolleybus at the Trolleybus Museum, Sandtoft
This photo shows 72 (HKR 11) a 1946 Sunbeam W trolleybus with Northern Coachbuilders 56-seater bodywork, it being one of a batch of twelve delivered to Maidstone Corporation Transport. It had the distinction of being Maidstone's last trolleybus on Saturday 15th April 1967 for which occasion it was decorated. Subsequently, it was retained by Maidstone Borough Council as a museum exhibit but in 1977, it transferred to Sandtoft on long term loan. It was then specially re-decorated by the Trolleybus Museum in 1987 to mark the twentieth anniversary of the closure of Maidstone's trolleybuses, then for the Queen's Golden Jubilee Year in 2002.
