Many thanks, Gents. All excellent stuff!

Bit desperate this one! I'm trying to trace the identity of this Royal Corps of Transport bus but have only these two partial views to go on. The pictures date from October 1987 and it seems to me it could be a Büßing DE73 (probably ex-BVG). Can anyone suggest a publication that might have further info eg registration no, colour scheme etc? I should have thought it would have been painted in the normal green of army vehicles, but I did find a reference on the arrse website to its being blue with the RCT badge on the sides. From the pictures the bus seems to have the ROYAL CORPS OF TRANSPORT label in large block capitals, similar to those on the rolling stock of the British military train in Berlin. The fact that it is described as a PRI bus probably means it didn't have an official military registration, more likely a BFG one. It's a long shot, I know! But any pointers would be much appreciated! Thanks Andy http://www.western-allies-berlin.com/publications/newspapers/berlin-bulletin/Berlin-Bulletin-Volume-38-Issue-41.pdf (scroll down to page 2)
