Emblings & The RT & RF display
With the American Air Museum in the background and the impressive display of London RT and RF buses at SHOWBUS, a few of the equally impressive Embling display feature in the foreground.
 
 
Emblings Bristol VR display
Emblings has acquired an impressive fleet of Bristol VRs from a variety of sources. Leading this SHOWBUS line up is an unsual high bridge version, LHG438T, originally Ribble 1439. Alongside is former Colchester 66 (NNO66P) an Atlantean with highbridge ECW bodywork, giving it a similar appearance to the Ribble VR as can be seen on the picture at the top of this page.
 
 
Embling Leyland National
This former Bristol Omnibus Gloucester Leyland National has been painted in school bus yellow. KHT125P, numbered G3027 when with Bristol, appears to have been re-engined with a Volvo unit, though it is unlikely to be in the same place as on a B10M as suggested by the badging.
 
Stagecoach London Olympics Trident
Parked next to the F15 fighter by Rally Control was one of two Stagecoach Dennis Tridents in advertising livery. Pride of place went to 18209 (LX04FWV) promoting the London Olympic bid. It was unexpectedly joined by the Trident seen behind which is believed to carry adverts in association with London Fashion Week which ended a couple of days before SHOWBUS.
 
North Western Bristol RELH6L
An unexpected entry at SHOWBUS was this magnicent Bristol RELH6L with the later style of ECW body on the chassis. The bus has been restored to NWRC colours, which, in common with many other NBC fleets, soon gave way to NATIONAL white, or DP schemes. Similar Eastern Counties RE869 (RPU869M), illustrated in November's BUSES magazine, was also at SHOWBUS in a late version of poppy red and white DP colours. North Western 413 (JMA413L) is seen leaving the event.
