| The model - following
closely on the heels of the two 80M Model Bus Shop 11-metre China Motor
Bus Dennis Condors, was the release, 14th
October 2014, of a Kowloon Motor Bus air-conditioned version. A nice
touch is the blue 'air-conditioned' slip board placed in the front
nearside windscreen. Nigel Eadon-Clarke's photograph, taken in October
1990, appears in Mike Davis's book 'The Buses of Kowloon Motor
Bus' shows this arrangement.
The bus
- as part of KMB's dual-sourcing policy, the company took delivery of
one Duple Metsec bodied Dennis Dragon for evaluation purposes. It was
first registered in April 1990 and was later allocated the fleet number
AD1. A total of 360 examples entered service between 1990 and
1997.
