The Maltese Swifts

Over the period 1981 - 1987 Malta imported some 250 complete vehicles from the United Kingdom. From London Transport came 57 AEC Swifts of classes SM SMD & SMS with bodywork by Marshall, MCW or Park Royal. 40 were sold whilst the rest were retained by the Government.

Look here for their time with London Transport.
