    Thanks for these memory jerkers Neil. As a lad in Bristol I saw them in the two tone green that (to me) suited them much better than blue. I read recently that every two years when Wales played at Murrayfield, due to their long range tanks, the Bath Road named 47s would be borrowed by Canton to haul the fans' excursions. That in turn would see many Scottish spotters gathering at Waverley to see these rarities.
