"JazzMusic"  Schrage Musik   type  anti-aircraft weapons set in the bodywork to defend against  airbourne terrorists, kamikaze pterosaurs, dragons etc.....

..... low bridges........
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

How about a '60s psychadelic version, a sort of UK equivalent of "Further":

Alvis 3.14159

Thunderbird 7. Overall neon orange, designed to assist people who can't afford taxis.

Comes with several banks of lift rockets and a B-58 wing attached for high speed M5 trips.

A 007 Bond bus is also possible, with the Airfix 1/24 Little Nellie parked in the top section, retractable roof and all...

A submersible, with the lower deck sealed up and a driver's seat on the top deck. For sightseeing tours of the Thames, driving along the river bed...

Or it could be a Burning Man Hippie Bus

Radish

Or you could just paint it blue.

Or....what about the top rear "open" for a band to play "on tour"....living quarters "below"?? Need to be a small band (no, not midgets!!)....I was thinking 3 or 4 max.

Top deck full of Hedgehog mortars  ;D

Do you mean  to attack hedgehogs, do you mean operated by Captain Tiggywinkle and her troops, or are wemerely hoping to use them to sink U boats?

A fair few....................

Now if your really interested, I also have large numbers of photos of Leyland Atlantian's, Daimler Fleetline's, Bristol VRT's ect ect ect.  :wacko:

Like I said before, I had quite an interest in buses as a kid. I traveled all over the country with my trusty old Practika MTL50 SLR taking photos of buses and coaches, Most of the time I would be on route to an airport for some plane spotting......Remember when you could do that with out being treated like a potential terrorist at Heathrow or Gatwick?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Bit OTT isn't it ?  ;D

Been done before lol......................

Yep, remember those East Yorkshire Motor Services ones I mentioned?  These were introduced in the late eighties after the Beverley Bar Bus Martin posted, but in a retro livery to suit the Routemasters age (I guess EYMS whiff too).  The EYMS livery was red and white at the time, then burgundy and cream, Routemasters have been in both of those schemes too.  Although they've all been retired from main service, one is kept in the historical fleet.


And guessing what's coming next, pink has been done too!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
