This type is by far the hardest to track down as
relatively few were produced. This could be because the design and production
quality is quite poor leading to curtailed further development.
This example to Esher, far from being the worst, exhibits a typical lack of quality control insofar as the '787' is missing entirely and there's a spurious vertical black line to the right of the destination. |
| The Grateley examples exhibit two other
characteristics of this type with '787' printed both left and right as
well as indecision over whether to use 'and' or an ampersand in the
title.
Although not illustrated, there is a tendency for the title to be printed in a somewhat less than straight line. |
