This month’s submission covers North Carolina and Virginia following our visit there last summer; it also<br />
incorporates information gathered together over many years by Maurice Bateman and others. I acknowledge the<br />
help given by all those whom we met whilst visiting these states, but most especially Bill & Nancy Rowland, the<br />
Billings’ family, John Huffstetler and David Pleace. I also acknowledge use of the British Buses Abroad in North<br />
America e-group. Please remember, your reports are most welcome and should be sent to me, Brian Coney, at 47<br />
Paynesdown Road, THATCHAM, Berkshire, RG19 3SE (phone and e-mail addresses are available).<br />
Note that in the Previous Owner column, “pko” stands for “Previous Known Owner”; there may have been<br />
intermediate owners of whom we are unaware.<br />
North Carolina (NC)<br />
Correction to PX3: p 46 - NVX 311: delete all reference to ownership by a film company (full US history follows)<br />
Corrections to OJ694 (OJ1997): pp 202/3: Barrier Island Station, Duck - delete reference to “YRU 70”, vehicle<br />
now identified as the genuine YRU 70 with SBG triangular-style destination display (see below).<br />
pp 202/3/4: delete reference to Car Museum, Charlotte - full name and address<br />
for owner of 502 BTA now established (see below).<br />
pp 203/4: delete u/k, Rhaesville, with LYF 188 - as history of LYF 188 is now<br />
known, it seems unlikely that it was ever in North Carolina; Rhaesville (which I cannot find) could be a misreport<br />
for Wytheville, VA, not all that far from the State line (see Virginia report following).<br />
