I remember (in late 1959 or early 1960) such a colour scheme being tried, just before my family emigrated to Australia. I also remember (some seven or eight years ago) finding a picture of same while searching the Internet for pictures of Glasgow Corporation Buses. Eerily for me, the most interesting thing about that photograph was that it seemed to show a Corporation Bus parked on Dunkenny Road in Drumchapel, heading towards George Square just after leaving Achamore Road !
