Many LT services penetrated beyond the boundaries of Greater London when overall policy control passed to the GLC in January 1970. They became victims of grant subsidy cuts which sometimes ended RTs earlier than may otherwise have been the case. Route 150 was one of these routes when it ran to Lambourne End. Reprieved in 1973 it was curtailed on DMS conversion in 1977. RT 4769 (AP) is seen setting off from Chigwell Row on Monday 24th February 1975. 2G-4.
The AT-RT does stand without a baseplate, but it tips over easily and the legs are difficult to position right. The legs have several joints that allows many kinds of movement. Again: credit for the cockpit design goes to AndrewVxtc. I have altered his cockpit design sligthly.
RT 686 (AM) halts at lights outside Ladywell Baths in Lewisham working a short journey to Brockley Rise on route 122. Friday 2nd December 1977.
Withdrawn in May 1973, the bus was bought by the Divine Light Mission. It was parked in Acre Lane, SW2, outside some flats which no longer exist.
2370 gained a recert in early 76 and moved to BK, but didn't make the final run, being a trainer at BW before the end came in June 79.
RT 40 from Turnham Green takes a break from training duties - I trust the trainee and his instructor aren't in the pub!

"Yevpatoria RT-70 radio telescope is one of the only two in the world that are able to transmit messages to extraterrestrial civilizations."
"During operation of the transmitter within a radius of 100 meters around the antenna, electromagnetic field is dangerous to life and health of human. Buildings on the site itself are protected from the radiation."
Evpatoria, 2009
Former Leicestershire operator Brown's Blue, had several AEC Regent RT's in the 1960's. I produced this model as a code 3 in the 1990's and sold quite a few!.
