A VARIED LOOK

These are mostly from the UK, but with a smattering from Malta, Canada, and France.
Time span is from 1962 through to today, and covers a mix of the working buses, and those that are in preservation. I have elected to show only my favorite UK buses. Buses probably come second to aircraft, but it will never be ahead of them. Buses fascinated me as a kid, & to see so many ‘Southdown’, this naturally became my favorite operator. I use to go to the Southdown garage in Horsham’s Denne Road, where they would let me go & sit in the cab of Guy Utilities that were stored there in the 50’s. After Southdown, I was always drawn to the red London bus. I used to go down town to the A24 in Horsham & watch the weekend procession of seaside specials. Ah! Memories of those red buses of the 50’s…
