Douglas Corporation Transport.
There was a batch of five Mulliner bodied Guy Otters in the Douglas Corporation fleet. Numbered 8-12 (WMN 484-488) these were broadly similar to the London Transport GS class
Guy Vixens, although these had bodywork built by ECW. However what made the Douglas vehicles unique was the massive front and rear destination and route number indicators. In fact even the nearside of the buses was fitted with a large destination aperture. Withdawn in 1970, four of the five 8, 9, 11 & 12 were sold to bus dealer Martin of Weaverham, Cheshire. Curiously reregistered UTU 596J, 9 was resold to the Gateshead Education Department, for use in connection with recreational projects organised by schools within the borough. I'm not sure when this vehicle passed into preservation but it was noted in open storage at the Birmingham & Midland Museum of Transport, Wythall on May 9th 1999.
