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.

Two Classics in Copenhagen
Two of my favourite vehicles are seen side by side in Copenhagen in 1982. Of course one is the quality solid looking and very sophisticated for it's time Volvo Amazon car and the other is the DAB-Leyland BL2d. There were 250 of these buses and along with the similar BL1d made up a modern fleet of 510 buses whose delivery commenced in 1964 to replace the much loved trams from the streets of the Danish capital. No.475 was from the final year's delivery in 1970 and this Leyland O680 powered bus was allocated to the HT Garage at Valby.
