In 1981, Grimsby-Cleethorpes Transport changed its livery from blue and cream to caramel and cream. At the same time, a simple ‘GCT’ fleetname was introduced. Bus drivers were issued with items with the new logo.
This tie and lapel badge belong to a former bus driver who was driving at the time.
“I wrote about this being my grandfather's boat - he was the engineer. It was first registered as INS 11 and is pronounced Pit-gay-vnay not Pit-gav-enny.”

“My grandfather was the engineer on this drifter when she was fishing out of Lossiemouth and then working as a minesweeper at Scapa Flow from 1915.”
