That looks like a South Midland fleetname - it's more likely to be an AEC Regal III - my 1961 fleetlist shows a handful of Duple bodied Regal IIIs but no Albions.

I don't insist on that one, it was the closest I got ... and a nice name! :) But I knew you would look into it more thoroughly.

Only the passenger door is a bit strange compared to this one:

But that is not better on the Albion Valkyrie picture:

Ah, you found that one! I was just looking at it myself.... Because we can't see the radiator we're guessing, I think. The Valkyrie was relatively rare, the Regal very common. I'll keep looking.

South Midland fleetname looks right and only AEC chassis found on http://www.buslistsontheweb.co.uk/
