Pangbourne Coaches 6692 DK - Nov 1973

November 1972 - Passing through the Berkshire village of Pangbourne one day I spied 6692 DK in the doorway of the Pangbourne Coaches garage. The coach was new to 'The Creams (Lancashire) Limited', a Yelloway subsidiary, in Spring 1964. During the 1960s Yelloway supplemented their group fleets with lightweight coaches of Ford (1961) or Bedford (1962-1969) manufacture which were only kept for 1 or 2 years. This Plaxton Panorama bodied Bedford VAL, together with 6691 DK, operated for Creams whereas 6693 DK and 6694 DK operated for Yelloway.
