Yelloway WDK 646K (Filming of TV advert) - Spring 1972 (1)

Spring 1973 – WDK 646K (new in April 1972) was the star of a Yelloway television commercial and the coach was seen here during filming on the westbound carriageway of an unopened section of the M62 at its junction with the M621 near Cleckheaton. The bridge in the background still exists. Derek Cheetham drove the coach and a number of Yelloway staff, myself included, went along as ‘extras’. I borrowed Gerard Duffy’s camera to take this set of pictures (actually on slide film). Gerry Henstock is standing on the right talking to the film crew. The advert was screened on Granada television soon after.
