The Felixstowe to Ipswich Coach

• 

A rainy Sunday visit to the Christchurch Mansion in Ipswich turned up a gem like this painting by Russell Sidney Reeve (slybrownfox.com). It dates from the very early forties and nowadays we find it hard to imagine the tranquillity of the passengers. We daren’t say what kind of coach this is, but could it be a Bedford Waveny, like this one on the website of the Ipswich Transport Museum?
