Thorn Alpha 6
The Thorn Alpha 6 was never going to be a popular design, being a SLI/H cut-off lantern. In fact, I've never seen
any installed in the UK anywhere.
However a small stock of boxed, unused Alpha 6s were discovered languishing in a council depot. They were now useless - SLI was now obsolete, and
the council were reducing their SOX stock by replacing with SON.
Inside of simply being thrown in the skip, the stock was purchased and collected by several collectors. And everyone was happy.
