A not so swift recue.
Anyone who looks in at my photostream with any regularity will by now know that I enjoy a bit of colourisation. Not only that, they will also know that some of my earlier photographic offerings were a fair bit worse than my later ones. Occasionally I'll have a play when spare time permits, to see if I can improve any of those old pre 35mm images.
This is my latest effort. Back in 1977/8 we found ourselves in Oxford where the traditionally AEC fleet was in retreat under NBC ownership. There were still a number of AEC Renown double deckers working plus a handful of Reliances, but we only ever saw one Swift and this was it. 1966 built DFC 623D was photographed on Gloucester Green bus station (when it was a more useful size) in the company of a Reliance and a Bristol RELH coach. Sadly, like nearly all my output of the day, the result was somewhat unsharp. Hopefully its a little more viewable now even if the job seemed to take an age.
