Airline

(1982 Yorkshire TV drama series)

1982 drama about a demobbed airman trying to make a living with his aeroplane after World War II. Episode 2 has a glimpse of what is intended to look like a London Transport STL. David Boxall provides the id: “having watched this, the fleet number K451 appears on the rear panel below stairs, which reveals this to be the 1928 Leyland Titan TD1 JUB29, in Keighley West Yorkshire livery, which is cleverly not shown too much on camera. As most of the location filming was done in Yorkshire, this would fit in with the owner's home address in Bradford.”. The chassis dates from 1928; the Eastern Coachworks lowbridge body is from 1932, and was fitted in 1951:
