Classic appliances at Aston Clinton

Searching through my old photo albums I found this view of a couple of classics at the Aston Clinton show in May 1999. I don't remember taking this photo so I can't give much detail, but PCJ 14 is a Bedford (possibly bodied by Miles) and the other appliance appears to be a Leyland Cub.

Yes, PCJ 14 is indeed a Bedford A5S/Miles, (yes, I know it looks like a J, but it's an A5S) that was new to Herefordshire, and passed from them to Rank-Xerox. The Leyland is a 1938 FK6 that was new to Caerphilly, and passed to Glamorgan in 1948.

Adam, this is a choice photo of two fabulous machines, I think the ladder on the Bedford is a ring-in, but hey, who cares!!

Ian is right. I used to own it. I sold it on to Vince Fox in 1997

I bought it from Rank Xerox in about 1982 for £180 + vat complete with Bailey wooden ladder and a fair amount of kit.
I drove many trouble free miles going all over the country to show's.I have pictures of the day picked her up.

This is the only Herefordshire machine on this site. Anybody got any more?
