Museum spokesperson Corinne Fulford said “This is a really exciting weekend for the Charles Burrell and Dad’s Army museums with Jones’ van being on show. She’s been fully restored and on Saturday at one o’clock she’ll be driving for the first time from the Burrell to Dad’s Army museum.”
The van was purchased for £63,000 by the museum and the museum is continuing to raise funds to repay the kind benefactors who funded its purchase to prevent the van being lost to the public. So far £20,000 has been raised.
