Not the most exciting of photographs, but one that illustrates one of the many tasks in bus restoration - one of the tasks that are taken forgranted. The photo is of the component parts of the wind-down half drop windows from RTW335. The units have been stripped down and separated from the glazing ready for re-chroming. Screws were seized, gears were seized or covered in years of solidified grease and rubber gaskets have perished - all need restoring to form their part of the many pixels that will become the fully restored picture of a London RTW.
