Details: 1909F was another of the Ford Escort radio control cars delivered in 1975 in the orange/tangerine/tomato-soup version of red livery. The bodywork does appear slightly lighter in tone than the BL-class bus in the background. This photo was taken at Hyde Park on 10th April 1977, presumably at some event or other, judging by the crowds and indeed the presence of a BL! Unfortunately, none of the official LT documents from the time show an allocation for 1909F and it was withdrawn in August 1977 after just over two years' service.

Andrew ColebourneThe event was the launch of the Silver Jubilee Routemasters. Escort van 1871F was also there. The bus was actually BS2, not a BL.Mon 26/07/21, 10:21
