Frieda

(1947, David Farrar, Mai Zetterling)

A challenging concept for its time: an RAF officer shot down over Germany in World War II returns home with his German bride, the woman who helped him escape. Nice footage of handsome City of Oxford JD10 (EFC287), a 1937 AEC Regal/Weymann, in Woodstock, which stands in for the fictional town of Denfield. It carries the fleetname 'Southern Counties':

It's also seen moving away:

There's a later sequence:

A brief view of the Houses of Parliament includes a passing London Transport LT-class AEC Renown (thanks Colin Read):
