1. CAL194 ... 1936 AEC Regent Park Royal, CAL194 had been Mansfield & District's 94. It then served Essex Police as a mobile road safety exhibition for nearly ten years: its condition belies its age, 30 years when this picture was taken. The front door is not original but an adaptation for its new role. (Sun 17/7/66, Gt Waldingfield, Suffolk (about six miles outside Essex!))
2. FVO762 ... The Weymann trailer of one of the ex-Mansfield and District articulated buses, FVO762/3. The buses passed to the electricity supply part of Balfour Beatty and then to the East Midlands Electricity Board after nationalisation; seen here in a field and apparently used as a site hut (or derelict!). (Wed 4/1/67, near Ibstock)
3. FVO762 ... This is a mystery shot and a most unusual vehicle. FVO762 was a Commer Superpoise of just pre-war or just post-war vintage and is seen here with a trailer of utility appearance. It seems to be a posed shot and not a wartime one, but what was its intended use? The ensemble was accredited to Mansfield & District, which I'm sure it's not, although it does seem to be registered in that area. (1943/4)
