Tarsus southern Turkey, what an adventure back then London to Kabul, the climb was quite long and steep so it looks like it was getting a bit warm.0
1What chassis model and body is this ? hubs could be Leyland?
It looks like a Leyland Leopard with Caetano bodywork. The only left hand drive ones that I can find with this combination pre Aug 1968 were all supplied to a Portugese operators so I can only surmise that it was sold on by them to the Danish operator in the article.

Birdie’s post not Dean’s. The Red and cream coach with the grille missing.

Just a wild guess, but I’d suggest Weymann-bodied. The hubs suggest Leyland… Tiger Cub?

Another pioneer Dean but the Danish journey would be about half the mileage as the British bus going to Kabul and on the best roads, they only got worse once you ventured further east after Istanbul.

Top Deck’s Bristol double-deckers regularly did Kathmandu I believe, so Kabul would just have been a stop on the way!

The nearest GHA 333 is a 1940 BMMO SON 2861, rebuilt Sept 1950.
The centre one is probably a Leyland Reg No ■■? 988.*
The far one is unmistakably a AEC Matador.
*Thanks to TROOPER2, The centre vehicle is CKO 988 a 1936 Titan TD4, Weymann, ex Maidstone + District>

The centre one is CKO988, a 1936 Leyland Titan TD4 which had been new to Maidstone & District with a Weymann bus body.
This coach body looks a bit like a Thurgood of Ware and possibly on an AEC Regal II or III or a Leyland Tiger PS1 chassis rebodied a common exercise on former half cab coaches from the early post war era.
Cheers Leyland 600.
Watched ‘Carry On Abroad’ yesterday which features this nice left hand drive AEC.

You know your buses “Leyland 600”, what do you reckon this is (from a day or three ago)?

The wheel hubs look like AEC types, and the destination blind is showing Bognor.
Perhaps it was originally from a bus and coach company from somewhere in the south of England.
Best wishes to you all for 2022, Cheers, Ray Smyth.

I was wondering whether Leyland or AEC, but hoonose.
Happy 2022 Ray.
Looks like this one going by the rear view and partial reg no identification. A Maudslay chassis first registered in 1948 to Surman of Chinnor. Originally bodied by Thurgood of Ware, rebodied in 1955 by Yeates whilst still in Surman ownership.

I have no info on this one, apart from the ‘Potteries’ cast in the radiator header tank, which looks very Daimler like.!
