Part of a long running series of Norwegian comedies featuring the Olsen gang (based on an equally long running Danish series). This particular movie brings our bumbling criminal heroes to a bustling London - and of course Trafalgar Square and a passing RML class AEC Routemaster:

Into view comes Armchair SGS508W, a 1981 Bedford YMT with Duple Dominant II coachwork carrying boards for SAGA Holidays:

Seen through the windows are London Transport Routemasters, an AEC Merlin on Red Arrow duties, and a DMS type Leyland B20 Fleetline:


The driver's seat:

From a taxi, we see a London Transport MCW Metrobus on an Airbus service:

….and there's a glimpse of a London Country Green Line RB class AEC Reliance/Duple Dominant in Green Line's Golden Jubilee livery:

The only identifiable coach here is Reliance of Newbury 142 (UJB726N), a Duple Dominant bodied Bedford YRQ, but there are also Plaxton bodied AEC Reliances from Armchair and Derek Randall:

As the camera follows the taxi, a distant OM class open top BMMO D9 appears on a sightseeing tour:

A later sequence features AEC Bridgemaster 80WMH, which began life as a demonstrator for AEC, but spent some years with Osborne's of Tollesbury. By 1981 it had been heavily rebuilt in ugly fashion to resemble a 1920s bus, complete with open rear staircase:
