    Friends of Classic London Buses of the Fifties For those actively involved in or supporting the preservation of London buses, coaches and trolleybuses of the past Here is a nice wintry shot of RT 1426, one of the Country area's Cravens-bodied examples, waiting to go to home to Windsor from Uxbridge, long ago, via the picturesque-sounding Iver Heath, George Green, Upton Lea and more mundane Wexham Road, Slough and Eton. I cannot speak for those places at the time the photograph was taken, but in more recent times it has been hard to see anything remotely rural, bucolic or delightful about any of them, and Upton Lea is nothing but a large and uninspiring housing estate on the edge of Slough. Life can be so disappointing at times! Photo by Michael Dryhurst. Newsletter 162 February 2020 Opening Lines First of all, many thanks to all those “Friends” who kindly sent us seasonal greetings at what is nowadays regarded as the “festive” season. These are of course warmly reciprocated. Thanks also to those many individuals who contribute to this monthly mayhem. All contributions are gratefully received and as many as possible are used. It matters not if you send a couple of lines or several pages, it all helps to keep us all in touch. I would also now ask vehicle owners to think about keeping us posted, especially in the case of those buses and coaches which rarely, if ever, appear in public. Many members like to know that these “ghost” buses still exist and are being cared for, or stored, or even under extensive restoration.

PDF-178-1 Page 2 Associated Equipment Company Ltd 1912-1979 The Associated Equipment Company Ltd A Brief History 1912-1979 The origins of the Associated Equipment Company Limited, better known by its initials as AEC, lie with the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC). The LGOC was set up in 1855 in order to amalgamate the plethora of horse-bus operators in London. In July 1908 the LGOC merged with the London Omnibus Company (which, at the time, was operating a fleet of almost 400 motorbuses under the fleetname 'Vanguard'). The London Omnibus Company had set up a subsidiary, Motor Omnibus Construction Limited, based in premises at Walthamstow, in order to assemble its own vehicles from parts manufactured elsewhere. Shortly after the two Companies had merged, the Chief Engineer suggested that the LGOC should also design and manufacture its own chassis at the works in Walthamstow.
