| Commer Commando/Plaxton Coach (left): Produced from the Langley whitemetal kit, it represents yet another vehicle 'make' in 'Richardson's' fleet. Most small independents would have had to contend with a multitude of makes, during the early post-war period. Supplies of new vehicles were very scarce, so operators were glad of anything to replace war-weary stock. The stylish Plaxton coachwork contrasts with the characteristic AEC Regal/Burlingham rear-end, with a Leyland TD1 in the background. Script sign-writing decals were produced to special order, by Dave Jessop. The Langley Commer kit is currently available from MBF Shop). |
