: Here are some photos I was given by the previous owner.
: Most were when he took delivery of the bus.
: If he had not saved it when he did, it would more than likely been too late now.

: Apparently the number box panel section was vandalised from this picture to the next!
: David Wilson
: no.no - I photoshopped the above to see what it would look like

: Ben Summers
: Only three Sydney half cab single deckers are left with their original bodies.
: David Wilson
: When I first saw 1389 up at Schofields in 1977, I couldn't believe it still existed.
: I thought the person who told me had it mixed up with some other sort of bus.
: But there it was and thank goodness it was rescued as the land it was on, was due to be developed for housing.
: I'm hoping a Sydney Albion 1/2 cab will turn up one day but there aren't too many prospects
: Ben Summers
: I think the closest we could get to a Sydney Albion Valkyrie would be a replica, David.
: Norman Julian
: David Wilson do you know of one, or was it just healthy optimism?
: David Wilson
: none are known of.
: The last I ever saw was at Watts Bus Service in Wollongong in 1970 but it dissappeared.
: Had the front filled in but would have been easy to convert back
: Ben Summers
: If that bus is anywhere today, I reckon it would be either in or near Wollongong.

: Dennis 1492 being dragged into into position for the tow truck -at Warren NSW 1983.
: Found completely by accident, I'm hoping an Albion might turn up the same way -or another AEC
