Summary[edit]

Description

The famous landmark of the Army and Navy on the former a12 in Chelmsford has now been demolished. It deserved its fate, as it never allowed coaches to stop there. In the background, Van Diemans Road. I would have loved to live there This was an interesting coach....it was one of 7 , SNM70-6R variously Bedford YMT/YLQ Plaxton/Duples bought for the 8th Commonwealth Expedition which were driven overland to India and back...see pictures here.....(a few of the Duple bodied vehicles on the expedition) valinor.ca/comex8pictures/comex8pix.html Read about the expedition here... valinor.ca/comex8c.html Not many Essex coaches had been on the streets of Kabul. The Army & Navy hotel, a famous A12 landmark, was demolished in march 2007 and replaced in 2008 by a Travelodge.

The coach was originally a 40 seater for the expedition, but I suspect it was re-seated to 53 on acquisition by Cook.
