Sorry to have the presumption to correct a caption in your most excellent daily series of worldwide interesting transport modes, but, the bus shown in Macau is not an AEC Regal but a prewar Bristol, possibly a J-type. ( "Bristol" was originally the bus manufacturing subsidiary of the Bristol Tramways and Carriage Co but went on to be the principal bus supplier to the Tilling Group of companies, then to all bus companies that fell into the era of nationalisation. Post-nationalisation the company was taken over by the Leyland Group and the Bristol individuality phased out and soon dropped ).
