Lang's Tours Bedford bus

Post by FR&L History »

Good evening
The Forest Range & Lenswood History Group is currently putting together a book to mark the centenary of the naming of Lenswood, in the Adelaide Hills.
Lang's Tours had the contract to convey mail between Adelaide and Lobethal in the 1950's and 60's.
We would welcome any information on Lang's and especially any photo's of their vehicles.
The bus some people remember is an elegant, curved shaped vehicle in royal blue with a coat of arms on the sides. Some recall a decorative tail fin above the rear window.
If no further images arrive, could we please have permission to use the Lang's Tour Bedford image posted earlier.
If so, please provide details of the owners of any images, for us to acknowledge.
Lang's took over the mail run from WD Cosgrove of Magill. It might be stretching first time friendship to ask for any information on his business but we would welcome any information.
Thank you for this opportunity.

Here's an old scan.It was taken back in the early 1970s when this bus was purchased by my father (the late) Jack Sellick at the time.The other photo is Freighter Lawton's factory photo scanned.
