These pictures were taken by me, in 1979, at the waterfront on Hong Kong Island, slightly west of the central business district. They are mostly Guy Arabs, mk4 and mk5. The first bus is a Tillings-Stevens, delivered in the late 1940s, and due for twenty years' service. It still has the destination "Tai Hang" in the box, so although it had probably last been used for driver training, they didn't bother to remove the destination. This would have annoyed a few people waiting at a bus stop for a Tai Hang bus. (See the brilliant model, carrying the route "Star Ferry – So Uk Village" on the "single deckers" page.)
The first picture is captioned: "Daimler CVG5 4964 was one of the first double decker[s] in Hong Kong. New to
Kowloon Motor Bus in 1949,[it] received a fleet number of D29. The bus has been [in] a blaze in 1997. (2000/12/24)
The other pictures are shots of an old HK bus converted to tree lopper, taken in 2006.
