What’s the Greatest Machine of the 1960s…the Ford Transit?
THE FORD TRANSIT (1965) (JACK OF ALL TRADES)
The Ford Transit is a range of light commercial vehicle produced by Ford. The Transit is built as a passenger van, minibus, cutaway van chassis, and as a pickup truck - although it was sold primarily as a cargo van. To date, over eight million Transit have been sold, making it the third best-selling van of all time.
The first generation Transit (known as the Transit Mark I in the United Kingdom) was introduced in October 1965, taking over directly from the prior Thames 400E, and has been in continuous production in three basic generations to the present day.
The van was produced initially at Ford's Langley facility in Berkshire, England (a former Second World War aircraft factory which had produced Hawker Hurricane fighters), but demand outstripped the capability of the plant, and production was moved to Southampton until its eventual closure in 2013.
The engines used in the UK were the Essex V4 for the petrol-engined version in 1.7 L and 2.0 L capacities. By using relatively short V-4 engines Ford were able to minimise the additional length necessitated to place the engine ahead of the driver. Another popular development under the bonnet was the equipping of the van with an alternator at time when the UK market competitors expected buyers to be content with a dynamo. A 43 bhp (32 kW) diesel engine sourced from Perkins was also offered. As this engine was too long to fit under the Transit's stubby nose, the diesel version featured a longer bonnet.

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT… Innovations in comfort, engine power and versatility meant that the Transit could be driven much like a car, all contributing to the vehicle’s massive success.
TIME WARP… Within one month of its unveiling, Ford had £3.6m worth of orders - the equivalent of £65m today!

    As a child the RM, RT and RF were to be seen all around London and further afield too on country routes. The RF was great, The RT was great but did look slightly dated, but the RM never looked dated to me. Loved them all but the RM just had the edge on looks in it's original condition.

    When I signed up in the RAF as an Aircraft Fitter I remember 'RESCUE BOAT CREWMAN' was still listed on the entry form as an option you could chose for service! I nearly bought a seaplane tender 9 years ago that was a rotting wreck in a builders yard in Bristol. Sadly I could not fins anywhere to house her for the rebuild so I lost her. She was also VERY fast with twin Gardner 8LXB engines I think. Regretably she no one bought her and she crumbled away to a pile of wood which was burned. Lovely to see this boat restored THANK YOU from an old airman.

    45'3"N - 24'6"W is off the French coast in the North Atlantic, roughly where the German battleship, Bismark, was caught and sunk by the Royal Navy. This location would have been outside the range of an RAF HSL.

    What is interesting and apparently contradictory about hard chine & round bilge displacement is that whilst the British used hard chine which led to hull slamming in rough weather, the Germans used round bilge in their S boats as it was far more stable in rough seas. And the S Boats were fast - !
