If only we were ON the bus, we could have looked out the window and I could pinpoint where we were! Come to that, we could have asked them - - GH doesn't look especially busy.

I tried staring out the window to discern the scenery! but windows look grotty and the weather looks grey (that does sound like England right away). You can see a spindly tree outside with no leaves, suggesting winter, though only Cyn has a coat, and a bush in background and one flat roof building, so not an airport runway and maybe not a city environment. authorgaryhttp://filmint.nu/1973/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108119778215437215.post-2223719391129286132020-10-10T13:08:50.280-05:002020-10-10T13:08:50.280-05:00Maybe they used this bus to take them from one ter...Maybe they used this bus to take them from one terminal to the next.

And you know what GH said when asked, “Do you miss going for a bus ride like any other normal person?” at a May 1965 press conference: “The answer’s No! What? Get some dirty old man breathing down your neck. Anyway, you can never get on buses when you want to. I used to stand in bus queues and think how great it would be to have a car, especially when they put the chain across the bus and the conductor says, ‘Sorry — Full!’ I never liked buses and I hate them now, because they get in the way of my posh car.” So I am still utterly baffled by that photo. authorgaryhttp://filmint.nu/1973/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108119778215437215.post-48521515978470007922020-10-09T15:53:20.986-05:002020-10-09T15:53:20.986-05:00I THINK this photo is from when George, Pattie, Jo...I THINK this photo is from when George, Pattie, John & Cyn went to Tahiti together.

Maybe not Liverpool at all but a studio bus taking them to a locale for the film HDN?authorgaryhttp://filmint.nu/1973/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108119778215437215.post-24914612268650935062020-10-09T07:14:48.553-05:002020-10-09T07:14:48.553-05:00Does anyone have any details, date, for this?
