Two Colchester Atlanteans reunited at SHOWBUS. Former 66 (NNO66P) joined the VR contingent,
its ECW body helping it to blend in. Talisman Coach Lines enetered newer 90 (RVW90W) kept
in Colchester livery. The two deckers shared the limelight with Duxford' Vulcan bomber,
temporarily ousted from Hangar 1 during the current building programme at the Museum.

Ralph Oakes-Garnett entered this classic 1949 all Crossley SD42/7. The bus was originally
Bolton Corporation 8 and is now part of the Tameside Transport Collection. A stall
accompanied the bus so it was conveniently pitched next to the Classic Bus marquee.

Making its debut at SHOWBUS was this former East Kent full front AEC Regent V with Park Royal
body. PFN858 however spent money years after its time in Kent with North-East operator
Lockeys of Bishop Auckland, in whose livery it is currently displayed. Unfortunately a
malfunction prevented it doing its scheduled tour of Duxford Village.
