@fj9fl - no, this was a Sydney double decker, not a classic Routemaster or anything significant. For all we know, it was probably rooted anyway. This jump was done back in the seventies.
My guess would be that the structural damage incurred by the stunt (ie. strain on body frame and chassis) would be such that the bus would have been scrapped.
SO!

I don't know the fate of this bus.

I agree! the weight of the whole bus would have been on the front end when it landed. absolutely screwed.
