AEC Society Rally 2022
Grimsby Corporation Transport 81, late 1946/47 RT-type AEC Regent III O961215, Roe H31/25R, JV9901.
Grimsby 81 is the only surviving example of a "Provincial-type RT". Withdrawn after twenty years service in August 1966, the RT has been owned by John Pitcher ever since. A late entry not in the programme, the 2022 AEC Rally was the first event the bus has attended for more than fifty years.
The RT was driven to and from the rally by Craig Schofield, who can normally be found behind the wheel of the fab Leyland Super National JMY120N. Craig positioned the RT for the cameras at the end of the day.
A remarkable entrant, and my pick for star of this year's show.
Newark Showground, 29/5/22.

London Bus Company Leyland PD2 RT KGK575 RTW75 at Epping station on the 339 heritage service to Ongar, 22.10.17.
Bus photos from this trip and more are on my site here: mkttransportphoto.smugmug.com/2017/October-2017/UK-Buses-...
January 1975 saw the conversion to RMs of New Cross's two-bus allocation on route 151, a facility introduced in November 1972 to serve an expanding estate at Kidbrooke. RT 1648 (NX) is captured at Lee Green on a running in journey. Monday 1st July 1974. U-9.
RT2565 passes another RT (with another in the distance) in Cranbrook Road, Ilford on the 129 route on 7/5/74. This street seemed to contain various clocks. The 129 route went over to OMO in Oct'76.
A bit of Saturday bunching. Both buses survive, 4633 in Belgium and 3254 in original Green Line from.
'Nothing for half an hour then eight come along together'. RT 2541 (BK) and seven others in a cavalcade of buses over route 62 on the last day of RT operation in London. Saturday 7th April 1979.
4Z-23.
Owned at the time by the Honourable Equity of London Pearlies, it passed through a few more owners in October 80, the last being at Wombwell.
Until I came across these pictures, and researched the details, I'd forgotten that for much of 2001 London route 492 was sub-contracted by London Central to Blue Triangle.
Roger Wright doesn't need much of an excuse to use an RT, so on 7th April 2001, RT3871 put in an appearance.
This is Sidcup Station. The 'Bluewater Park' destination didn't last long before 'Park' was dropped. It is after all yet another sodding shopping mall and not a park.
This wasn't the first time an RT had operated on the 492!: www.flickr.com/photos/9003948@N05/6871638861
In a sorry state but the radiator badge and bonnet plate appear to have been saved.................do you have them?
At lunch, I watched two red tailed hawks circling each other. One had a light chin and the other dark. This is the light chinned one :)
To commemorate 50 years since the end of crew operation at Edgware garage, RT 2177 operated on route 292 (the last crew route) on Saturday 15 July 2023. I'm a bit younger than the bus, but I have to say the RT was in better condition and running more smoothly than me!
They are original blinds, from the last bus in 1973.

There were still a few RT's around such as RT1332 on Route 193 with another on the 87 seen from the Western Rd. carpark on 1/6/77. My old school, St.Edwards features here with the brick built Quadrangle - the Senior school had moved to new premises up London Rd near Chadwell Heath but the old buildings were still being used as a Primary School. I believe this was not to last long and the whole site was demolished later.
As well as he 87 route passing through the centre of Rainham, two other Central routes terminated here -the 165 and 103. At the Church are RT2170 on the 103 and RT3486 on a short terminating 87 with a Country RT in the distance. RT's on the 103 were ousted by SMS buses just 9 months after this picture was taken -25/6/70.
