during world war 2,london buses went through many liveries to make them less easy to see by enemy,and modifications to make them safer,ie the windows were covered on inside with a mesh as can be seen in photos,i also added an american red cross bus,ken
1939/40
1942/43
war ended back to normal1950/55
american red cross 1942/5
pre war bus (silver roof) wartime bus (brown roof)showing the light restriction on headlights,and white platform detailing so passengers could see in the dark
