I did a bit of part time coach driving for Finch Coaches at Ince. The photo is 2 of their Bedford coaches at Thirsk Racecourse in the late 1970s. The driver on the left was a Finch driver the chap on the right was a coach driver from Gateshead, standing in front of the 29 seater MNJ 853F,that I had driven that day.
