East Berlin: If It's a bus or coach it's an Ikarus


 I complain because some of my colour prints came back with the wrong colouring, but I'm afraid there's nothing much one could do about those taken in East Berlin as the air was so fogged with pollutant from burning brown coal the air was thick with it. No doubt in the same way we miss the smell of the steam railway and industry older people in that part of the city must miss their smells too. Ikarus supplied most of the buses for much of the Eastern Block and they came in all sizes and even as a not too convincing luxury coach.
