All other types.

Former BEA 1953 AEC Regal IV/Park Royal HDC37C, USK 345, was new as 1039 (NLP 650). It is one of the few survivors of 65 coaches built specially for British European Airways (BEA) to transport air passengers between the West London Air Terminal and Heathrow Airport. <br />
They were built to a London Transport (LT) design using the standard RF chassis but with axle spacers to accommodate an 8′ wide body. The raised seating at the rear of the vehicle allows additional luggage space below the floor supplementing luggage racks and pen inside.<br />
The coaches were owned by BEA but were operated and maintained by LT. Seen at Swansea Bus Museum on 26th October 2014.
