361. 502WLG
Seen at the Cub & Scout Jamboree at Gilwell Park, Epping Forest with Ward, Middlestown, Wakefield, was 502WLG, a Leyland PSU1/13 Royal Tiger with a Plaxton Panorama C51F body which entered service in July 1962 with Roberts, Crewe. The chassis had originally carried a Windover Kingsway C39C body and was registered LXM 21, being new in 1951 to Birch Bros., London N.W.5. Before being fitted with the Plaxton body the chassis was lengthened to take a 36 foot long body. This was one of six such lengthened chassis rebodied for Les Gleave (dealer), Arclid.

362. MZE111
Leyland Royal Tiger coach MZE111 with Harrington body in service with Dublin Hire Coaches in Ireland. The coach was imported into Ireland by Matt Ascough, an Englishman who went on to import and sell coaches all over Ireland in the late 1960s and 1970s. The registration plate is circa 1963, but I am unsure of the year the coach was built.
