Re: Dominion of Canada
My source indicates the nameplates were never even made

Re: Dominion of Canada
RCTS 2A states that it was planned but never executed and the plates were not cast.

Re: Dominion of Canada
According to Yeadon's Register, Appendix 1, the Buzzard plates were made and fitted but were replaced by the Woodcock plates and then the Dominion plates. It was never seen outside the Plant with the Buzzard plates. It did run briefly in traffic in workshop grey bearing the Woodcock name.
