The Rocket Bus AKA Alf's Carpet

(1929, Carl Schenstrøm, Harald Madsen)

The Danish stars were better known as Pat und Patachon in Germany; they are now seen as slapstick 'one fat one thin' forerunners of Laurel and Hardy. In this movie shot in London they run a dilapidated bus service until one of them discovers a flying carpet. Their unlikely co-star is London General AEC B B5052 (LF9685):
