Leyland600:
Your Albion with a long rear overhang would be a Victor the regular model name for Albion bus chassis.
Cheers, Leyland 600
Thanks Leyland, I am sure you are right, though that is not a name I have heard before. I remember the terrifying descent though, I had the handbrake pulled back and locked as hard as I could, legs locked straight and back against the back of the cab. There was a sharp corner at the bottom where it levelled off and I arrived stationary at a set of traffic lights. Pulled gingerly across the road and parked before setting off to find a phone.
