5 april 2009 - Cobham (UK). In wartime, UK bus production was subject to Government control - only certain manufacturers were permitted to make buses to this standard ‘utility’ design, made with low-grade materials and with all non-essential features removed. London Transport normally only bought buses to its own design from AEC or Leyland, but in this period had to take whatever it could get, including a batch of these Guy Arab vehicles. As soon as new RT buses came in quantity, London got rid of these to other operators. This is now the only survivor and has been preserved for many years.

3 may 2009 - Redhill (UK) – Brighton Road. Today is the traditional London to Brighton rally of the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society and several interesting buses always take part and they pass the end of my street. Here is the wartime Guy Arab bus from London, with ‘utility’ bodywork made largely from wood and fabric, as steel was not obtainable. London Transport would not have bought Guy buses through choice, either, but had to take anything that was available.
