	Transits Power lifts entered service in all areas in late 1986 they were eventually Phased out by Iveco power lifts as they had heavier lifting capacity The last AA service were F reg. These Ex Transit power lifts that were in AA service can still be seen on the roads today.
Taken by Myself October 1989 AA transport Depot Canren Sheffield this was the collection of my Iveco. My de-commissioned 190 B287 YUL is out of shot, but it is interesting to note that these 190s which are off to head office at Basingstoke for disposal still have the beacons and signs fitted which was not the norm. During this period all AA vans went back to head office for disposal whether driven or transported.	Picture taken by myself 1987 Morley AA transport depot Leeds. Morley was the farthest North from head office (Basingstoke) New vans would be delivered On the left my old RYF56Y in a De-commissioned state. No headboard and all the signs removed parked next to it my new shape transit Di 1989 all ready for service,.		My wonderful 190 Transit Throughout the 1980s 190 Ford Transits were used all over the country, They were basically 190s with up and over back doors, side loader for passenger seats. they were either classified as Romeo or Bravo. Romeo Transits were Fitted with a Truck A-way Recovery crane in the rear floor. Bravo Transits were basic vans but were modified with 24volt charging systems for BRS membership use. B287 YUL was a standard 190 with 12 volt system and it was known as bravo 7. The history of this vehicle is it was issued new to the Hull area in 1984 as B36 it was deemed surplus to requirements in hull in late 1988 and was transferred to Newcastle-on-tyne early 1989 and was redesigned Newcastle Bravo7 I drove this (Loved it) until late 1989 when it was retired from service. I received issue of my first Iveco 48-10 the power lift was the demise in the serves of the 190 Transit.
