Bedford Comair SB3 LET716

[Roderick Smith]

I've been asked by the current owner if I have any history details. I don't, but people here may.
He believes that it came from Moreland Depot.
It is/was LET716. He has been converting it to a motorhome.

TIA

There doesn't appear to have been any such bus, certainly not at Moreland. A photo would help to see which model Comair Bedford it is - they were first made in 1960 and last made in 1973. If a photo is not available then a check of the rego would be advised. We have the regos of all Comairs and LET 716 is simply not one of them. Of course, plates can be switched - it's been known to happen.

Hopefully this reply provides a breakthrough.

The history I have is that it was owned by a T Callaghan out of Balmoral, then to Echuca, and now me.
I've since fitted a new engine and different plates.
The details I have are:
Made by Comm' Aircraft Factories
Serial: 170
Model: ???-18 CY-18?
VIN? Chassis: AJ 324676
NJM2BZ687453
2267869

LET 716 is correct. Build date was 4/10/72 41 seat school bus. New to W, G&G Bertram Balmoral passing to O'Callaghan with the business.

Thanks, I had no luck before with ABFL on the registration, it kept looping back to the start. Even now, it doesn't show either operator.

Now comes the next obvious request: Can anyone supply a photo in its original role?
I did ask the requester to supply a photo of how it likes today in his care.

I have one but can't access my pics for the next three weeks.
