This was Redline No 4 or 6 at the morning tea stop at Ken Somers Cafe at Aratula on the southbound Bris/Syd 2 day tour in the early 1950's.
No 3 was a similar Ansair KS5 however she was adorned with rear wheel arch spats and a tubular chrome side skirt rub rail. And very possibly by this time Rex had converted her to rear engine and forward control.
There's a photo of that converted coach in my book, which I've now decided to publish online with free access, due to my frustration at the lengthy process involved in trying to have the story traditionally published.
BTW that's probably a Warwick based Grimleys Coaches AEC in front of the Redline, on a service to Brisbane.
