Hi,

Three things I thought about while watching:
- The Lady on pic 5 is the same as on pic 7.

- 69

- Is it poosible that the squared something held by the two busses in pic 3 is a mirror that helped the happy lady to few something she wouldn´t see without?

- Mirror ?

- One of These two busses on the same pic has two colors. Maybe a color trial?

They're all fine as far as I can see. Perhaps your self-righting mechanism is faulty

Stephen,
The SF-17B Londoner Daimler Bus you talk about being a possible colour trail I think could be the Impel 76 model as these photo's are from this era. There is also a Berger Paints model with the same coffee coloured top and cream coloured base.
Cheers,Steve

Looks like it's nearly 10:30, smoko time. Sorry, morning tea! The typing and comping room. What's Comping?

National accounts office. Looks like there could be some 1-75 wall displays two thirds of the way up the left had side of the photo. You can clearly see a Yesteryear plated ash tray being put to it's intended use. Also I can see a price list for March 1976 as I have one of these. There are also a number of order sheets around the place.
