Turner RT-14
Following his first Thompson Trophy victory in 1934, famed racing pilot Roscoe Turner contracted with the Lawrence W. Brown Aircraft Company to build a new racing aircraft. Designed by Turner and engineered by University of Minnesota professor Howard Barlow, the Turner racer was completed in mid-1936.
Known as the Laird Turner LTR-14 and later the Turner RT-14, the modified racer placed third in the 1937 Thompson Trophy event at the National Air Races and won the 1938 and 1939 contests. With this aircraft, Turner became the only three-time winner of the Thompson Trophy. In 1939 the aircraft was sponsored by Champion Spark Plugs and therefore carried the name “Miss Champion” on its fuselage.

A few months after the previous view of RT 4740, it seems not only to have acquired a Routemaster blind for working the Orpington station to Goddington Lane section of the 477, but also the famous advert for Nash's furniture store in Orpington. It is seen here pulling away from the Orpington War Memorial stop in Spur Road, on a sultry Tuesday 18th June 1974. U-5.
Hurrying along the dual carriageway of the A23! On withdrawal in 79 it wnet to a playgroup, then for preservation.
I (or we) must have gone for a ride to have got this shot. Having been recertified at Northfleet earlier on the month, it has now arrived at Chelsham.
RT 1658 has been spruced up since leaving LT, bus has in recent years been broken for spares by the London Bus Company. Apparently not, in fact I've seen it looking splendid recently and 1347 is still around too.
RT 3183 was one of a number of RTs operating a half hourly service between Tonbridge and Westerham/Green St Green
