At lunchtime today over 20 standard bearers came to the museum to officially hand over a Morris Engines standard (or flag). The museum was contacted a few months ago by the Vice Chairman of Coventry Branch No.1 of The Royal British Legion as they believed that Coventry Transport Museum would be a good permanent home for the standard.
Local press and our in–house photographer were there to capture the handover, as were quite a few visitors to the museum. We don’t have a definite date for the standard yet but as I type research is being undertaken by members of the organization to try and find it out. Soon the standard will go on display in the museum – a new home has been allocated in our Boomtown gallery, on the wall above a Morris engine already on display.
