Dulcima

(1971, Carol White, John Mills)

Nigel Furness comments: “Shot in and around Tetbury, Stroud and Minchinhampton in Gloucestershire.” Carol White travels to Stroud on a Bristol SUS4A, as Nigel notes it's “very authentically dressed in Bristol Omnibus 1965-71 livery, even down to the yellow Northern Operating Area fleet number plates (number cannot be discerned in the film).” The SU type was relatively rare, but the short SUS model was used in this area.

The registration, however, 752REA, is a fake, as can be seen in these screencaps provided by Steve DeBank at Britmovie.co.uk. The bus, confirmed by Nigel in a later message, is actually Bristol Omnibus 301 (862RAE), a 1962 Bristol SUS4A with Eastern Coachworks body. It's now preserved.
