East London's 15100 Scania Omnidekka has recently gained RM1527's registration from Trident 17879. It is displayed for contrast alongside pre-war RT113 (FXT288). Unexpectedly, Stagecoach/Macquarie's first Trident (TA1) also showed up and was parked alongside the RT with another late entry, an Ensignbus RMC.

RT113 is seen here arriving at Duxford, followed by a pair of Routemasters.

Arriving and making its debut at SHOWBUS, is 1939 London Transport Leyland Cub REC, CR16 (FXT122). The diminutive 20 seater is dwarfed by Motts Volvo/Jonckheere, R50MTT, serving again at Parking Reception.

CR16 is seen a little later on display in the rally field, where it attracted a lot of attention. The body was built at London Transport's Chiswick works as one of a batch of 49 vehicles and CR16 was allocated to Windsor garage and was later exported to Cyprus. A member of the armed forces found her in neglected condition in 1979 and had the little bus flown home.
