The latest Isle of Man repatriation is a 1957 Mulliner-bodied Guy Otter, formerly No.11 with the Douglas Corporation Transport fleet. Withdrawn in 1970 and exported to the UK losing its Manx registration, WMN 487.
No 11 has been owned by the Allmand-Smith family since the early 1970’s. The family decided they would like to return No 11 to the Isle of Man so it could be displayed at Jurby Transport Museum.
At short notice the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company were able to book the Otter on a suitable return sailing to the Island. Despite high winds both the journey from Chelford and the sailing went without a problem.
