As many of you may know Jim is very much based in the Ipswich area, so it wasn't the best place to be if you wanted regular sightings of these deckers

However, two Metroliners have put in an appearance in the Suffolk county town and Jim tells me the first was Ambassador's C916BPW which was diverted because the driver became ill with another called for

The second sighting was of a loanee covering Snow White promotional duties and carried a temporary number of T919. C521WBF was delivered new to Midland Red Coaches in March 1986 as their 1521. The following year it moved to Yorkshire Traction and, from the presence of its fleet names, subsequently saw use with Ambassador as well
My thanks to Jim for the information and the photos
