The AEC Swift was London Transport's first 'modern' single-decker bus. In 36-ft (11 meter) form, London Transport christened the chassis 'Merlin', although they retained the Swift name for later shorter length buses.
The first trial batch of 15 Merlins, delivered in 1966, had bodywork by Strachans, pronounced straun.
The tail of the plane is of a Hawker Siddeley HS-121 Trident 2E delivered to British European Airways in May 1968 and withdrawn in November 1984.
