Sheffield Swift
Another colourisation of one of my very early photographic attempts. Needless to say, back in 1977 my world was black and white as that was all I could half afford.
On this particular day out, courtesy of the PMT / Trent joint service from Hanley we were able to have a nose around the bus station and then go out to Olive Grove garage on foot. At the latter we were readily allowed admission. There were rows of withdrawn AEC Regents on the adjoining parking ground, some Leyland Titans and even the odd Atlantean. Parked on one of the garage's internal roads was DWB 53H, one of Sheffield Corporation's final AECs in the form of a 691 engined Swift. I always thought these PRV/Roe bodied machines to be handsome buses, even in the slightly odd PTE shade of light brown. Some 45 years later, it was pleasant to 're-visit' it and give it a coloured hue from the comfort of my own home.
