I wonder did Brum ever get them back?I wonder!
It would have been interesting to see the fleet of buses being driven down!
So they would have been buses London bus drivers would have been familiar with as London Transport had many AEC vehiclesYes, they apparently returned at the end of November the same year. They were from a batch of AEC Regents (known as piano fronts) 444 - 483 OV4444 - OV 4483.
The immaculately restored one at Transport Museum Wythall, no 486 (OV4486) was one of these.The Birmingham Gazette of 27 October 1940 reports Birmingham lending buses to London. Did we ever get them back ?
