Many know my more recent genre Buses and Girls photography as those earlier buses I really like have all gone so now I enjoy my bus hobby more for the photography. As well as being an artist I owned a small transport business before I retired but today I have a little job too driving a minibus dong a school run to Wolverhampton in the afternoon and occasionally other jobs. It gets me out and about and satisfies my childhood ambition to drive a bus.

Portugal: AEC Regal
My Cosmos Coach Tour of Portugal in 1984 took us for one night's stay to the historic fortified town of Evora with it's striking white-washed buildings and narrow streets. It didn't look as though it had been very long since the local buses had become part of the Nationalised RN Concern and the orange and cream paint still looked fresh on the buses. Well either that or they kep't them a good deal smarter than in other parts. In front working a town service is a narrow looking AEC Regal being followed by a little Albion.
WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice picture, Chris!
Do you have more from Portugal in the 80's?
Your pictures are all buses+girls or you also take photos of buses only?
By the way, the Albion behind was the 8025.
Hi Pedro, yes I have plenty more from Portugal to come from that same trip but as I only usually post one per day they'll be coming through quite slowly. Yes I like my views of buses and girls and I suppose I do about half and half. As for 8025 I thought that was worthy of a photo too and is yet to come. Thanks for your interest and keep visiting, and no doubt you will be able to correct my many errors. I'm glad I visited when I did, it was a great country.
