In deference to those with smaller monitors and/or slower connections, I reduced the size of the picture.  8)

Hiawatha already has it, but the factory is in fact part of Papworth Hospital, and the contract they had with Austin was to find useful work for patients with TB. They built 250 so quickly that Austin ordered 250 more. They went on to build the bodies for the Civil Defence "Green Goddess" fire engines.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
