Details: The next three photos are only indirectly related to service vehicles but I think they are interesting anyway. First up is this photo sent in by David Varley. Taken in about 1932, it shows his father standing proudly in front of the bus that he drove, AEC Regal T256. This bus had been new in December 1930, and entered service from Watford (where this photo was probably taken) a month later. It went on to serve at various other country garages, including High Wycombe, Staines, East Grinstead and Romford, being withdrawn at the end of 1938. It was then completely rebuilt and emerged as a lorry numbered 408W about seven months later. In this form, it saw another 22 years' use with London Transport, finally being sold in 1962.
