Coaches
In 1982, the National Bus Company bought 10 express coaches with Duple Goldliner IV bodywork to National Express Rapide specification. These were based on the Falcon V chassis. They were split between Western National (5), Yorkshire Traction (2), National Travel (West) (2) and West Yorkshire RCC (1). But they proved unreliable and did not last very long in National Express service.
Kowloon Motor Bus purchased 20 coaches based on the Falcon HC chassis in 1985-1986 for airport express services in Hong Kong. They had air conditioned bodywork by Duple Metsec. The last of them was withdrawn in 2001.

“The real persuaders are our appetites, our fears and above all our vanity. The skillful propagandist stirs and coaches these internal persuaders.”
