EAA AirVenture Oshkosh (formerly the EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In) is an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts held each summer at Wittman Regional Airport (43°59′04″N 088°33′25″W) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, United States. The Southern part of the show grounds as well as Camp Scholler are located in the town of Nekimi. The airshow is arranged by the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), an international organization based in Oshkosh, and is the largest of its kind in the world. The show lasts a week, usually beginning on the last Monday in July. During the gathering, the airport's control tower is the busiest in the world. EAA was founded in Hales Corners, Wisconsin in 1953 by Paul Poberezny, who originally started the organization in the basement of his home for builders and restorers of recreational aircraft. Although homebuilding is still a large part of the organization's activities, it has grown to include almost every aspect of recreational and military aviation, and aeronautics. The first EAA fly-in was held in September 1953 at what is now Timmerman Field as a small part of the Milwaukee Air Pageant, fewer than 150 people registered as visitors the first year and only a handful of airplanes attended the event. In 1959, the EAA fly-in grew too large for the Air Pageant and moved to Rockford, Illinois. In 1970, when it outgrew its facilities at the Rockford airport, it moved to Oshkosh, Wisconsin. For many years the official name of the event was The EAA Annual Convention and Fly-In. In 1998, the name was changed to AirVenture Oshkosh, but many regular attendees still call it as The Oshkosh Airshow or just Oshkosh. For many years, access to the flight line was restricted to EAA members. In 1997, the fee structure for the show was changed allowing all visitors access to the entire grounds. EAA AirVenture holds nearly 1,000 forums and workshops.
UITP Global Public Transport Summit, Barcelona 2023: del 4 al 7 de junio se ha celebrado en Barcelona la cumbre bianual de la UITP. Además de las numerosas conferencias y encuentros, se ha celebrado una exposición de vehículos y proveedores en los pabellones 6 y 7.
La empresa francesa Bluebus, del grupo Bolloré, presentaba el modelo de microbús eléctrico de 6 metros. Presenta varias curiosidades. Por un lado, tiene también las marcas del carrocero catalán Indcar: hace pocos días, ambas empresas han alcanzado un principio de acuerdo para que la catalana sea la distribuidora exclusiva en España de los vehículos de la francesa. Por otro lado, tiene el escudo frontal, un intento de imitación de la imagen de marca y los asientos tapizados como si fuera destinado a la red urbana de Barcelona, operada por TMB.
Durante el congreso, TMB e Indcar firmaron un acuerdo por el que la primera probará este microbús eléctrico, reproduciendo condiciones reales de explotación en las líneas de la red urbana de Barcelona. La prueba durará tres meses y se iniciará en julio.

UITP Global Public Transport Summit, Barcelona 2023: from June 4 to 7, the biannual UITP summit was held in Barcelona. In addition to the numerous conferences and meetings, a vehicle and supplier exhibition has been held in halls 6 and 7.
The French company Bluebus, from the Bolloré group, presented the 6-meter electric minibus model. It presents several curiosities. First, it also has the brands of the Catalan bodybuilder Indcar: a few days ago, both companies reached an agreement in principle for the Catalan company to be the exclusive distributor in Spain of the French company's vehicles. Second, it has the front shield, an attempt to imitate the brand image and the upholstered seats as if it were destined for the Barcelona urban network, operated by TMB.
During the congress, TMB and Indcar signed an agreement whereby the first will test this electric minibus, reproducing real operating conditions on the Barcelona urban network lines. The test will last three months and will start in July.

Blue Line was a long established independent bus operator based in Armthorpe, near Doncaster. The proprietor being a Mr R Wilson, who started the business in the early 1920s.
The company operated a number of bus routes mainly serving the towns and rural villages to the East and North East of Doncaster. The service network connected these communities to Doncaster and to Goole. Some of these bus routes had been acquired in the pre war period, when a couple of local bus operators were bought out by Wilson.
In the late 1940s, Wilson bought out another local bus operator, 'Reliance' of Stainforth. Wilson continued to operate the company under the Reliance name, but ultimately the two companies would share the same livery.
Amongst the varied bus fleets of Blue Line & Reliance, Guy Arab motor buses featured heavily from the 1940s into the 1970s. Some of these were bought new and others second hand.
The last Guy's purchased were a number of Roe bodied Guy Arab V's in the 1960s. One of these was NWT496D, pictured above, which operated for Reliance. New in 1966, the vehicle remained in traffic until late 1978 or early 1979, after which it was cannibalised for parts.
In March 1979, the Blue Line and Reliance operations were taken over by South Yorkshire PTE, the main bus operator in South Yorkshire. The last Guy Arab remaining in traffic at that time was Blue Line 891GWT. However, SYPTE had no intension of operating the outdated Guy Arab, so it was immediately withdrawn and quickly disposed of to scrap, along with other withdrawn buses including NWT496D.
Carrying an unusual livery, which appears to be covering over an existing Stagecoach scheme.
