80th anniversary liveried buses.... April-June 2013 |
 |
| The company celebrated its 80th
anniversary on 13th April 2013 and to mark the occasion it held a
special event on the top floor of its Shatin Depot. A page detailing this event can be found here. Three Wrights Eclipse Gemini 2 buses appeared at the event carrying differing 80th anniversary liveries and thanks to Grant Ng Kwok Kuen these are shown below. Models of each are, I am informed, highly likely. This was confirmed when on 11th September 2013 when a model of AVBWU54 was announced (DW10514). |

1984.
