I t ’s all for family’s coach tours


A SECOND-HAND 51-seater passenger coach, converted into a mobile home, has opened up a whole new approach to holidays for a Clitheroe


family. Plumbing and.heating


en g in e e r Mr P e te 'r Moore, of Pimlico Road, , and his brother-in-law, Mr Norman Elms, of Kil- linghall, near Harrogate, bought the 1963 coach from a Bradford garage last year. Since then they have spent their free time converting it to com­ fortably accommodate the two families. Peter's wife, Joan, and


her sister-in-law, Susan, have put as much energy and enthusiasm into the work as their husbands, and the four children — Pamela and Andrew Moore and Joanne and Ian Elms — are delighted with their novel holidays.


With one successful


trip round East Anglia, Kent and the south coast b eh in d th em , th e families are now looking forward to a “coach holi­ day” abroad in July, this time to Normandy and Brittany. .

needs of both families. Some seats were , ripped out to allow more space, but those left at the front double up with tables to


form a dining area. The rear of the coach


has become a kitchen, fit­ ted with oven, grill and double-drainer sink pro­


viding hot and cold water. There is also a toilet and washbasin


area. The vehicle’s massive


boot is an ideal store for water and for the gas supply and water heater. Two sections equipped


with bunks have been prepared for sleeping quarters for each family, and the rooms become handy play areas for the children during the day. Peter, who is in the


coaches and feels quite at home behind the wheel. He is, however, glad to share the driving with Norman, who is a works manager with a Leeds firm.


The coach does an


average of 15 to 18 miles to the gallon, running off diesel, and up to now there have been no prob­ lems.

M o re colour on your screen. If you take a magnifying glass to the


- screen of a Mark 3 A set you’ll find it’s made up of thousands of coloured dashes. The same test on an old set would show clusters of much smaller coloured dots. It’s a visible sign of the latest in ”1Y’ technology. The result is a brighter picture and much greater reliability: the


colour won’t start drifting after a few months.


More style. The new technology gave our designers the chance to mm RedifTusion Mark 3A sets into really elegant, slimmer pieces of furniture. The sets are mounted


on stands fitted with castors.


More sound quality. Our intention in designing Mark 3 A was to incorporate the latest technology, not only in the colour picture, but also in the sound system.The result is clear, true sound quality. And there’s a tone control on all aerial models.
