Years ago, I saw a Ruby with pneumatic controls on the steering wheel - it was in the London area at the time and did a London to Brighton run in about 2001. If memory serves me right, the conventional controls were still working with the pneumatics superimposed on the linkages.

Unfortunately, Chris Blakey is also a recent stroke victim, I believe.
The hand controls from the RTC may since have been fitted to a Ruby van conversion (also done by Dave Williams), which is being well used.

Love to see the A-Series fitment, so any pics would be good.
