i could never work out what engines the bedford plaxton supremes have. is it a leyland or bedford engine?
@jaggass Its a Bedford engine.
500 cubic inches in the case of the Bedford YMT.

Nice to see a Bedford Y on Youtube - I think this is a YMT? Doesn't sound like a YNT.
@gcbus Its a YMQ
o0oh yess...
I remember going to school on the old bedfords...
The noises
The walnut interior and bright orange sky-lights
The smell of damp old flannels and diesel fumes...
and the hissing of air-powered wipers...
love it!

That brings back some memories! Same body as one of our school buses - though it was on a Volvo B10 chassis. Same whine in 1st as my favourite though - which was a Bedford engined Duple Dominant II. Not sure which engine precisely though.
