VYT494G Filer , Stanton Wick
In September 1979 Pat Filer took over four Bedford coaches from Country Kitchen Foods Ltd of Churchill , who were a well known local non-psv operator providing staff transport to their mushroom farm at Langford. When I was travelling to school in the mid 1960s they had four Leyland Royal Tigers with ECW C39F bodies , PHN801-4 , which were new to United in July 1952.
By 1979 they were running four Bedfords , VAMs HAR595G , BPX998G , and VALs VYT494G and BAA885J , and a Ford UYG973L.
VYT494G was a Bedford VAL70 / Duple Northern C53F new in May 1969 to Richmond, Epsom. It was painted in Filer's blue / cream livery by January 1981. It was used by Pensford Scouts as a non-psv from March 1984 , and last taxed to November 1986.
Parked in front of VYT494G is BPX998G , a Bedford VAM70 / Duple C45F new in June 1969 to Anstey, Haslemere.
HAR595G was a Bedford VAM70 / Duple Viceroy C45F new in May 1969 to Premier, Watford. It retained the brown livery with Filers and was out of use in the corner of the yard by June 1981.
Filer continued to provide the staff transport for Country Kitchen for a number of years.
