Vintage Southdown 61-year old bus ride aboard Guy Arab MkIV 547 (PUF 647)

Join me for a delightful and musical ride aboard 1956 Southdown Guy Arab MkIV (6LW) 547, PUF 647 on service to Hailsham as part of the 2917 Eastbourne Classic Bus Running Day. After an unusual 'range change' from 2nd to 4th, highlighting the occasional difficulty in driving these crash-box Guy Arabs, we settle into a pleasant drive on a sunny afternoon on service to Hailsham from Eastbourne. A nice mix of stop-start, a good hill climb in musical 3rd gear, some tuneful slow traffic and some faster running.
