Wolfgang was one of a group that volunteered to take on the build of the education tool for the National Mo- tor Museum back in January. The “electric” quarter scale truck will become a great activity for the young when finished said National Motor Museum Educa- tion manager Ian Reed , as it takes Birdwood National Motor Mu- seum junior enthusiasts on a planned drive ( yes the kids drive) around Museum grounds retracing the Tom Kruse lifeline Mail run from Marree to Birdsville in the 1930’s thru to the late 50’s . Students will learn how to and load and strap luggage , follow maps and directions and actually get to drive the 48 volt trucklett, but no sandhill after sandhill like the original truck traversed . Ian and Wolf mentioned the Kruse (mini) Truck comes in a purpose built trailer that will be taken on tour to Schools and functions as an education tool reigniting and promoting South Australia’s outback motoring history, the theme is based on the outback story book ”Tom, the outback mail- man” .Ian also mentioned that there is an ABC story about the mini replica truck illustrating the story of TOM KRUSE the outback mailman, so keep look a look out for that. The original restored Leyland Badger sits proudly up at Birdwood after being brought back to life in the 80’s (member Bob Dyer chats about his involvement with that later in these pages) , and if you want more info on the Tom Kruse legend , get a copy of the 1954 clas- sic movie “Back of Beyond” the story of the mail delivery on the Birdsville and Strezleckie track by Tom Kruse, a bottler piece of history, (might be a film night fundraiser for members eh!) or just youtube it on yr computer . Its last drive took it through Gawler as Tom drove to his sister’s place ( James Martin Village) Wolfgang mentioned that the 6 , yes the mini truck has 6 wheels were donated by member Corey Wake and that the motor has a speed regulated control with auto disable ability for total safety , best use of a golf cart yet eh! Some people are legends in their own lifetime …… and Tom Kruze certainly qualifies.

  • 57 Years Policing the UK Motorways
    57 Years Policing the UK Motorways On this page we take a look at the history of policing the UK motorway network since the opening of the Preston Bypass in 1958. There are a number of articles written by members of Police Car UK and we hope that you will find this page both informative and interesting! It is quite long, so make yourself a cup of tea and settle down to... 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway The Preston Bypass The M6 Experiment Motorway Memories and West Yorkshire Motorways The 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway In 2009 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the opening of the first section of the M1 motorway. OK, before we start there is an argument that the first motorway was opened a year earlier in 1958 and was called the Preston by-pass. However, it wasn’t designated as a motorway (part of the M6) until several years later and so the other side of the coin will argue that the first ‘official’ motorway, the M1 was opened on 2nd November 1959. But the fact remains that from 1958/9 Britain’s motorway network expanded across the country and is now an integral part of our transport system and our everyday lives. And for obvious reasons it needs policing and so we find ourselves here in particular celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway. Those Police officers who have worked on ‘the strip’ over the years will have an affinity towards it that is hard to describe. It can be an extremely dangerous place to work but it can also be an exhilarating one.
