MacKenzie Bus Line 12 at East Chester - 5 Sep 1992 (Ref 172-02)

Saturday 5 September 1992 – It was quite unbelievable that we found former MacKenzie Bus Line number 12, a Flixible Clipper 29 BR 45, in a junk yard in East Chester. It had been bought by MacKenzie on January 11 1946 and served the company for 23/24 years being taken out of service in 1969. The paint scheme was flaking a little after all those years but the fleet name and fleet numbers were quite readable. The coach was not on its own either. Alongside it stood two more Flixibles! Former Acadian Lines 331 and 333 which were new in 1952. They were model 218 B2 52 29 IC models. I hope they all survived to be restored. (Ref: 172-02)
