Back in 1979, #London #Transport placed a £4.8m order for 100 Metro-Cammell Weymann #buses to tackle shortages after #British #Leyland closed its Park Royal Titan works. It also triggered plans for XRM, a low-floor double-decker meant to replace the AEC Routemaster by mid-1980s. 🚍

Another fire truck, but today we’re back in the UK at this year’s Festival of the Unexceptional. This 1972 AEC-based appliance served with Leicester City Fire Brigade but now does duty as a catering vehicle. AEC was a London bus and truck manufacturer that became part of Leyland. Note the Leyland cab and dual Leyland and AEC badging. CRY 999K is an especially appropriate registration plate - 999 is the UK emergency phone number.

57 is a so-called Leyland number. After all, 2⁵ + 5² = 57.

In number theory, a Leyland number is a number of the form xʸ + yˣ (where x, y > 1).

The first Leyland numbers are: 8 (2² + 2²), 17 (2³ + 3²), 32 (2⁴ + 4²), 54 (3³ + 3³), 57 (2⁵ + 5²), 100 (6² + 2⁶). The first Leyland prime number is 17.

British Comet tanks move through the streets of a devastated town - Germany, March 1945.
The Comet tanks were made in a Lancashire town called Leyland by Leyland motors. The number of employees went from under 500 in 1939 to over 3000 by 1944. Founded in 1896 and despite many ups and downs the company still manufactures today with around 1000 employees #ww2 #comet #tank #comettank #germany #britisharmy #leylandmotors #leyland #lancashire
