Belfast (2021, Jude Hill, Judi Dench, Ciaran Hinds, Catriona Balfe, Jamie Dornan)
Kenneth Branagh's impression of growing up in Belfast in the late 1960s is shot mostly in black and white. The bus that appears several times is Ensign Bus RF319 (MLL956), new to London Transport in 1952. It is dressed for the film as Belfast City Transport 762 (762UZ). The real Belfast 762 did carry that registration, but was a 1969 AEC Swift/Alexander. Note the front panel where the London Transport roundel would be, which is shiny enough to depict a reflected Army helicopter flying over:
This night scene apparently shows two RFs, but I suspect they're both played by RF319:
A curious misplacement it might be, but RF319 looks undeniably smart:
Created with Boltwire.
