Probably the most attractive bodywork to appear on the Leyland Tiger Cub in the Fifties was that of Saro (Saunders-Roe) and built not far from here in Bangor over the Menai Bridge on the island of Anglesea. They were supplied mainly to BET Group operators like Trent and East Midland, but as Ribble had the most with about fifty it's appropriate that one of theirs has been preserved. It's a shame this example wasn't also saved as it survived into the Eighties as can be witnessed in this view as it passes a more typical Crosville bus of this area the shorter Leyland NationalB SNL 660.
