We were expecting 192 buses at SHOWBUS 2021, but the fuel crisis prevented many attending, though there were a few known mechanical failures too. It looks like 156 entries made it on the day. Under the circumstances we were delighted with the turn out, bearing in mind the decision to go ahead with the event and send out invitations was taken less than 7 weeks beforehand! Many thanks to all who made the effort.
Those photographed at the show are depicted in yellow. Those known to be present but not photographed are in blue. Those definitely not there are in black, those left in dark blue were probably not there, if you know better, let us know.
