Valliant Cronshaw AMC355A, was a Leyland PSU3/3R Leopard with a Duple Northern Alpine Continental C51F body which had been new in 1963 to Cronshaw, London N.W.9.
It is seen here, at Heathrow Airport, and is in Aer Lingus contract livery to operate the service between Brompton Air Terminal and London Airport.
E. C.

In May 1969 AMC355A passed to Whytes Airport Services, Ashford, Middlesex, together with the Aer Lingus contract.
