I was just looking through a late friend's Flickr photostream and came across this shot from many years ago. If I'm not mistaken, the Y Type in the foreground is ex PMT AEC Reliance DVT 167J which was being prepared for paint. The 'W' type is ex PMT single deck Fleetline BEH147H, whilst the Atlantean is POPS fromer PMT 766 EVT.

Currently struggling for this pipe which Volvo tell us is obsolete off a B7 RLE. It's a water pipe which runs between the block (just under the head) down to the oil cooler. It has those daft push in ends which seal with a square section 'O' ring and a feeble retaining clamp to keep it located. The one on our customer's bus has all but rotted away, so doesn't like staying in place. Repairing it could go one of two ways, and I'm not confident because of how the seal fits.
It's worth noting that the cooler end appears to be slightly larger.

Very few preservation era pictures exist of our own ex PMT AEC Reliance / Alexander 'Y Type', FEH 169J. The reason is probably because it only ever made this one trip out, cosmetically restored, to a POPS rally held at the Wedgwood factory in Barlaston, Stoke on Trent. I'd be interested to see any others which folk may have taken on this day.
