Thanks, updated!

Hello P493 MBY,
I thought N301 CKB had been aquired by the owner of N299 CKB and was only on short term loan to Presidential Travel or have I been mistaken somewhere?

N301 CKB is owned as part of the Presidential Travel fleet, whereas N299 CKB is privately owned by Derek for his own private uses.

Ah thanks for that was not 100% sure

Here is a Pic of N287 CKB at P&O Lloyd

Nice, they do look very smart in yellow!

If you search for N271/75/77/287 CKB, or N305/6/7/8 CLV on Flickr, theyre all yellow too and look good! Except 271,5,7, they look messy, and 271 is a mess, dashboard has been painted black and generally looks awful, such a shame as its the pioneer. Then again compared to whats been done to 291,298 and 303... full interior retrim with old stagecoach style moquette.... its a scandal, especially for school kids!

What i actually came on here to ask was, can anybody confirm that 276 / N276 CKB is indeed with the Buckley Belles dance troupe? As it was posted on here a while back that it had been donated to them from the scrapman as it was in one piece, but there are no photographs of it since it left, at the DVLA say its classed as SORN and has been for some time..
