A Chambers Bedford/Duple combination from a different era! Twenty seven year old OB CCF669 is seen climbing Windsor Castle Hill on the occasion of the NATIONAL SHOWBUS JUBILEE RALLY in June 1977. SHOWBUS entrants had gathered at a car park by the river then paraded to the Hillingdon Showground. The OB has ended up in the fleet of King Harry Coaches in the south west, taken over by First in 2021. King Harry specialises on classic vehicle hire.

 In 2012 Chambers was acquired by Go-Ahead, its fleet was moved to Hedingham's depot which had also been acquired by Go-Ahead that year. The Chambers identity was retained and a revised livery adopted, as seen on Optare Solo 962 (MX58XDB) arriving for SHOWBUS international 2014 at Duxford.
