The AA site is an interesting read. Apparently there are just 19 'phone boxes left out of nearly 1000.

It would seem that no RAC sentry boxes survive in their original locations. Out of the 500 or so RAC boxes Just a handful survive in museums.


It would be quite a nice retirement project to build a replica example of each.

I remember a lovely restored AA box in St Marys, Jersey.

Sadly, the photos have succumbed to the photobucket debacle...
