 Around the same time RELL6L G1045 (MHW8444F) was seen in Gloucester with Lodekka FLF6G 7258 (FHY128D). The RE was one of three from the MHW-F to carry a G prefix and was allocated to the Gloucester fleet which, like the Bristol city fleet, still had municipal involvement.

 Enjoying early summer sunshine in May 1969 before entering service were RELL6L buses 1104 (SHW126G) and 1108 (SHW128G). This pair, at Lawrence Hill depot, sported the third version of ECW's RE bus body with a deeper windscreen, perforce dispensing with the T-shaped desination blind.
