In the file attached this shows John Welch (Depot Engineer) and Norman Parker (Operations Manager) about to shake hands as Norman and his wife board one of the last buses to leave the Depot. John then had the job with the storeman (in brown coat) to replace all the legal lettering on former WYRCC buses to include the Swinegate address in Leeds covering East Parade Harrogate as the operator licence address.
