A return to Hppy Days. - a photo on Flickriver

            Clem Smith's local bus and coach operator was Austin's / 'Happy Days' of Woodseaves . . . the latter a neighbouring village to his own Eccleshall, Staffs. Over time, Clem amassed a fairly large archive of their fleet, especially if he encountered them passing through his patch, or when out at work on his mobile library. The photo links two of the aforementioned, a Happy Days coach and a Staffs County Council Bedford SB library van. On this occasion the coach appears to have come to Clem for its photo, though I have no record of the location.
RRE 471L was a Willowbrook 002 'Expressway' bodied Ford R192 which had been new to the business, presumably as a 'Grant Coach',  right at the end of 1972.
