The first of the AEC Regal IV "BEA" airport coaches (MLL 713) did not come into service until 7th May 1952.

Super :). Park Royal 1½ deck observation coach bodywork with 180 cu ft luggage space, based on the Commer Q4 Commando chassis.

The CM archive suggests the Ministry of Supply ordered these during 1945, either shortly before or after the end of the war, and that they were in service by both the RAF and BOAC (and possibly BEA) sometime during 1946.

BEA - http://www.modelbuszone.co.uk/oxford/76com/76com003.htm - TMG 114 plate = April 48 onwards
BOAC - http://www.modelbuszone.co.uk/oxford/76com/76com002.htm - HXF 339 plate = Sept 46 - Sept 47 "allocated in blocks"

Looks more like a BEA livery here. Other Oxford models in the series - http://www.modelbuszone.co.uk/oxford/76com/76comidx.htm
