Seen in Raunds.

One last batch of transporters for now, and a selection that I took on arrival at Kings Lynn circuit in May 2019. It was the one and only time I have been there, and as I was on my way home from a few days round East Anglia at the time, I was curious to see what turned up. In total, there were 10, which may well turn out to be the last time I saw a double-figure number of coaches at such an event, a couple of which were in the last Belle Vue selection.

Now here is a fairly mundane vehicle (you would think), a Volvo B10M / Duple Caribbean II - but that was actually a very rare pairing, as only four such vehicles were built. By this time (1985), I think anyone buying a B10M chassis would have paid the extra to have something better than a Duple body on it !

This one was new to Worths of Enstone as B663 AFC, staying there over 8 years, latterly as 774 YPG. It ended its PSV days nearer to me, with Millman's of Warrington, and was bought for conversion in 2009 by Scott Davids in Swinton, Salford, who still owns it. It actually outlasted its replacement, a Neoplan Skyliner which Scott bought in 2013, but sold on in 2016, after realising how much more reliable this thing was !

The other three of this type were Wallace Arnold C136 DWT, and Swanbrook C118/9 XDD.
