Yarmouth AEC Swift
An interesting mix of vehicles surrounded Rally Control. The pairing of former LT rear engined AEC Merlin MB641 with the former East Kent AEC Swift failed due to the ultimate non appearance of both, but the Yarmouth ECW bodied Swift appeared unexpectedly and was slotted in to replace the entry which was known to not be coming, even then it remained the only rear engined AEC.
 
AEC buses at SHOWBUS
A nice line up of old AECs was achieved, with David Whitaker's award winning ex Provincial Regent II and Regal 4, Tony Peart's Rotherham Regent III, alongside Reading's lowbridge model and a former Barton model and all only a stone's throw from the RT line up.
 
MK Metro Dennis Darts
An interesting pair of Dennis Darts from Milton Keynes' MK Metro fleet. Both bodied by the former Wadham Stringer operation down in Waterlooville, W3CTS was new to Cheney at nearby Banbury and the reregistered orange Dart is believed to be one of the buses new to Limebourne in London and whcih ended up with Connex. Its orange livery promotes its usual route working. Both are examples of vehicles acquired to meet the growing demand for capacity on MK city services.
