[UK] Dennis Falcon

A rare bus type in the UK

其機械配搭與以前九巴的AF是否一樣？

呢部車有無re body過?
睇呢個East Lancs車身
似係九十年代的產品。
並唔似falcon年代的產物

It's not a rebody. This Falcon was one of the last to leave the production line,
built in late 1992.

The Falcon has the Gradner 6HLXB as far as I remember.

But some said those in Hong Kong are using Gardner 6HLXCT!

That does not mean the standard Falcon had the same engine. All UK-spec Falcons
all have 6HXB engines. The HK ones have a 6HLXCT to provide the power required
to run the air conditioning.

but so far, how many Falcon built for UK?

A total of 140 Dennis Falcon were built between 1981 and 1993,
all except 20 were built for UK (but 1 of these 120 chassis was built for test only).

That means the product for KMB is the only one
overseas?

Also did the remaining products in U.K. be left service?

Obviously not, otherwise you wouldn't have seen the above picture in
the first place.

Currently the remaining biggish operator of the Falcons are Arriva North
Midlands and First Leicester, both have the last examples to leave the
production line.
