Highly-respected in their day, these fleets of slow-moving buses that once populated the South West peninsula from Hampshire and Gloucestershire to Lands End and the Lizard are now things of the past, present preservationists - and photographic collections.
The group had a number of identities. For the benefit of this collection they are identified as:
CF Cornish Fairways
DG Devon General
Ex Exeter
ND North Devon
RB Royal Blue
SN Southern National
WN Western National
This is only part of my collection. To see more of the 40,000-plus pictures currently on the web look through my "Other Galleries". |
