Re: Bus photos info
Hi Warren
This bus has a body built by Motor Body Assemblers (MBA) of Camperdown in Sydney. I doubt that Bridglands operated it. I think the photo was distributed around Australia to indicate the type of body that MBA could build. It was an interesting bus in two respects. First, it was an unusual MBA design - largely mimicking the Ansair design of the time. Second, it's on a Reo chassis. MBA was owned by White Trucks and a large proportion of their bodies were built on White chassis, but they did build on other chassis.
I am sure we would all love to see any other photos that you have of Bridgland buses. I presume your grandfather was Arthur Bridgland.
Here is a link to a post I made 8 years ago which featured some pictures that I have:

Re: Bus photos info
I think that photo was used in an advertisement in Truck and Bus Transportation? GM
