Only a few jobs remain before the bus is ready for paint.  Meanwhile attention has turned to other matters.  Vinyl graphics for the outside of the bus are being prepared by Sign Graphics of Folkestone.  It will of course look fantastic and designed to look very attractive to potential visitors with a 1940's period feel.  It is tempting to show a mock up, but you will just have to wait for the real thing!

Inside the bus, plans are underway to install an unexploded bomb at the front of the bombed out street on the upper deck.  Even better, once viewed it will explode with new sound & light effects.

Technology for the sound effects for the rest of the bus will be updated with new speakers, a single new amp and MP3 players.  All this will replace the present space consuming 3 amps and 2 large CD players.

Although there has always been space for a TV screen in the air-raid shelter one has never been fitted as it was thought that it would spoil the effect.

Plans are now underway to remodel this area and project images directly onto the corrugated sheet.  Watch this space for developments.
