Tonight's mystery picture.
Ok, so it's an Alexander Y Type, mounted on what I would say was a Bedford YRQ chassis. BSG 511L is seen here, in the ownership of Larne Congregational Church, resting on the coach park at Scarborough. What I don't know is who it was new to... was the Larne, Larne in Northern Ireland... and if so, why has it a 'mainland' registration? On an 'anoraky' note, it's interesting to see that the water filler on this little Bedford has been fitted on it's nearside as on contemporary AECs and Leylands... a much safer idea than in times of trouble attempting to top up whilst standing in the path of unsympathetic traffic.
