I like how the towing guy didn't think to put two timber planks at the back of the tilt to stop the back of the bus burrowing into the ground.
The idea is you drop the bus on to the two planks then roll it off them once the truck has moved away.
Mark Spencer
Hey Norm!
Did you give him the idea to move forward or did he come up with that?
Mark Spencer
What's with all the rubbish in the back?
Norman Julian
Oh Mark!
It's not brain surgery stuff.
LOL
Norman Julian
The crap in the back filled my box trailer twice when I cleaned it out.
Apparently it used to be full of books and magazines up to the roof for years.
Catherine Norman
Nice to see you back on Facebook Norm following hospital hopefully you're gettinng rest still
Norman Julian
Getting there Cath.
Catherine Norman
By the way Norm I need to find another Wybrow hand signal any ideas who might have a spare.
I had to use my one and only spare for Regal 3416 today but its left Regent 2590 without one?
Norman Julian
You had better show me a picture of exactly what you want
Catherine Norman
As seen in the top right of your photo of Leyland 2818 with the hand on it
Catherine Norman
Outside as per old photo of 3416 it didn't come to Sydney with it
Norman Julian
Where is the front end?
Catherine Norman
Old photo as it is now
Norman Julian
Looks like a long term project there Cath
Catherine Norman
Already underway.
have been sorting through what parts came with it and went to our storeroom today and started to get out the parts requiired.
The seats we have unfortunately are not an exact match and will all have to be re made to suite ie legs moved and re welded
Norman Julian
Do you have one of those sort after AEC Badges?
Catherine Norman
Catherine Norman
I've fitted my one and only spare today on it so looks like the above again
Norman Julian
I made 1 good one from 3.
Most of it was re-chromed.
Catherine Norman
Yes thats it.
Have you any leftover bits to make a whole one
Norman Julian

Catherine Norman
Not always we just get lucky sometimes with our finds
