OK, you set your camera on macro, zoom in and shoot a sheet of laser-printed mylar Christmas paper from about 3 feet away. Without a DSLR, it is difficult to defocus a digital camera. This is my solution.

I was going to ask whether anyone could hazard a guess as to what this was. Registration number obscured, so nothing to go on. Incidentally, obscured by what? They look like the translucent skylight roof panels from a coach. A little plaque on the front of the vehicle says "COLDITZ". I can't imagine why. Perhaps I should write Colditz, for the inspiration was probably the popular contemporary BBC telly-drama ...and, believe me, if you've read P. R. Reid's books you'll know that the BBC's version was pure drama. By the way, from a calligraphic point of view, all-capital Black Letter script is to be avoided.
This looked the sort of photo I'd have chucked out at the Brislington council refuse disposal centre ("recycling" had not yet been invented) in my great "goodbye to all that" moment of 1982. But I thought I'd check to make sure. Stone me! There it was, the original John Fozard print, still filed away in its Manilla envelope. So. I am happy to be able to give the details. The bus was 291 GKK, an AEC Reliance 2MU3RV with Weymann dual-purpose, 40-seat body, new to Maidstone & District in 1960. I photographed it on Monday 17th April 1978 in Ladvale's Berkeley garage. Ladvale had acquired it from P. D. & A. C. Stump of Berkeley ...whose premises these must have been.

I will accept my Nobel Prize with grace and humility for solving this age old problem. Thank you all :-)
