Haven't we had threads about this bus before? Maybe the pictures just showed up in one thread or another.
The one I found was from 2019, so excuse me for bringing things up to date, with information about the current owner and their plans to restore it.
I will be interested in hearing the progress of the restored double decker origninal Wings' bus. In my opinion, it should be showcased in a future Paul and Linda McCartney museum..
This is a nice idea, but the problem with it is that this does not exist in the here and now. Perhaps this will come to pass, but for the moment, there are a number of vintage automobile museums that it could go into as a home, and a number of UK based events that it could be put on display at. Mr Jennings is very much on the case as to where it may be homed, and does have somewhere in particular in mind, although he seems have to a number of options.
He is actually keen for the bus to travel and attend events (probably on a loader), especially in 2022, fifty years on from the tour. I think he would like to see it revisit the European venues it went to in 1972!
I do know some of the more immediate plans that Mr Jennings has for the bus, but they are still plans, and are his to share when he is ready to do so, so I am honour-bound to not reveal them, at least not before he does.
As I said before, I think fans might be a little bit excited about some of these plans - because I am a little bit excited about them.
So yeah, I'll update here when I know more, but feel free to follow http://www.1972wingstourbus.com/ for yourselves.
