could this be Bedford OB Duple Vista Coach ? http://www.diecastfast.com/diecast/DCF/PROD/SS-5007 but wait a minute the sliding door is further forward, the rest looks like Duple Vista body, with alloy "flash" trim. -- Last edit: 2013-12-03 03:46:48 |

Its a half cab so not Bedford . Got to be one of the 'quality' makes . Wheels look AEC or Leyland -- Last edit: 2013-12-03 07:51:08 |

Link to "nonsequitur.freeforums.org" http://www.flickr.com/photos/berresfords_motors_limited/4083746484/ In Staffs, we do things differently.............. Bus looks to be Leyland Tiger/Duple, but not very good view of radiator to distinguish shape from AEC, or TSM, or Albion. Link to "www.britishmodelbuses.com" -- Last edit: 2013-12-03 12:10:14 |

Clarkes, Canning Town, E16 had AEC (Regal?) and Bedford SB coaches registered new in the mid-1950s so possibly an earlier AEC here also. |

I wouldn't argue concerning the make, could easily be an AEC, and it would likely be a Regal. Clarke's appear to have owned a Regal/Windover, but this coach matches the Duple body almost exactly. -- Last edit: 2013-12-03 19:20:56 |

Some slight glimpses of the front captured from the original 1948 source (but not shown in the 2013 video) here which might help confirm make?? |

I've just had a look at "Buses on Screen", and it's an AEC Regal. Problem solved! http://www.screen.busesonscreen.net/screen1/index.php?p=screenfm.fmw.whatlife -- Last edit: 2013-12-13 19:34:27 |
