SM at Scratchwood.
After delivering the aforementioned Alexander 'Q type' B10M to Kent yesterday, the return load was something more to my liking. AML 97H is a rare survivor of hundreds of ill starred London Transport AEC Swifts. Their only remaining enclave, (though most much modified), is Malta and the good times are due to end there soon. The Park Royal bodied standee saloon is seen at Scratchwood Services (London Gateway in new parlance) yesterday with RBW's little van for company. The journey back was a protracted affair as we trundled primarily up the A5 in preference to the Motorway. The old girl ran well considering her only outing in many years has been to the test station.
The last PSV usage was with Basil William's famous Hants and Sussex operation the remains of who's livery it still wears.
Following buses around is apparently good for 'little van' as it returned a most pleasing 70mpg!
