HISTORY	This vehicle was spotted at the seaside resort of Virginia Beach (Virginia, USA), whilst on holiday there. As the bus was on the move, there was not time to note any details such as fleet number. Subsequent searching of the web revealed the bus to be owned by the Military Aviation Museum, Virginia Beach. The following information was obtained via their website: "Our most colorful acquisition has been the eagerly awaited British open-top, double-decker bus. Made by British Leyland in 1962, it is a vintage Routemaster. The bus was originally titled in England and then later transferred to Scotland as part of the Edinburgh City and Castle tour. After being painted with the MAM logo and planes, the Routemaster will run a regular bus-tour service from Virginia Beach’s 24th Street and Atlantic to the Museum. The bus will also be available for special events."
