September 18 2005:
Back from Portugal

Long standing followers of my pages may know that I get my ‘fix’ of vintage buses every September by visiting ‘Showbus’ at Duxford near Cambridge.

Despite the forecast sunshine, it was a day full of grey skies, but at least this vehicle provided some interest.

This 1954 bus had its chassis built in Southall by AEC, and its bodywork manufactured by Weymanns of Addlestone. For 30 years it served the people of Lisbon before coming back home. It looks most odd to us Brits with its cab on the ‘wrong side’, but the ad encouraging the drinking of beer is a familiar message…

Photoshop:
Cropped and Resized
Converted to Grayscale
Duotoned using Pantone 154C

This time last year I got a shot of a ‘Delivery’

Great choice of tones for this photo. It is nice that only few people are in the shot.
I wonder if we could have some beer ads on the bus now, it's so funny! :)

Those open platformed buses are special. I love them.
