It's amazing how the freakin old lenses you use produce amazingly old looking photos

There you go, one just for you... old lens, old bus, old style image, taken by an equally old Kerrowdown.

Not old. Vintage! Classic! And well maintained to boot!

Beautiful bus and I very much like the way you have presented it. I remember decades ago in Canada we used to see Thames vans driving about.

I notice the bus has a Thames badge on the grille.

No wonder its an OLD bus - excellent shot. Looks like they still ply the roads where you live.

At this time when the shot was taken, it was in regular service.

A few years ago these were in regular service in Malta.

I was in Gozo in 2004, stayed at an old 400 year old farmhouse with a nice inner courtyard and 2 foot thick stone walls that could withstand the summer heat. But I did not see these busses in Valetta or elsewhere. This one is in really good shape - almost a museum piece.

Is there a trailer hitched at the back ?

No, it looks like another bus.
