NEWS UPDATE 03-02-2010
RFR177P
RESTORATION UPDATE
Progress with new aluminium panels
See workshop for more details.
I am missing for the next two weeks,then its back to normal working.
More new pics to day in Clems Corner.
Could 2010 be 951 UVT's year ? see below.
This weeks task was to move POPS Atlantean out of the barn so it can be taken over to Reliance Busworks
for MOT prep, easy eh?
Every vehicle we needed to move in order to get 766EVT out suffered from flat batteries and so the the booster
was working over time. One advantage of moving things about is that I get chance to take a few pics.
New edition to the barn is ex Midland Red, Marshall body Leyland Leopard PHA319M (319)
Bristol VR owned by Bob Lewis. Eastern Counties KVF247V, word has it that it just might get out on the road
this year and attend rallies. YIPEE!
Bobs other beauty again Eastern Counties this one in green 778, lets hope it will soon be showing
something different on the destination blind.
BIT BY BIT. 910UVT
A sad sight indeed, but it has to go soon. 910UVT slowly dissapears, with the top deck nearly gone
and the spare parts moved to a new home the upper deck floor will come up to allow the steel frame work to be removed
and saved.
