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.

Ailsa in Kirkaldy
I always had a soft spot for Scottish Bus Group member Fife with it's well presented red and cream fleet of buses. In the Seventies and Eighties much of Britain might have been under the grip of the NBC spell with it's Bristol VR's and Nationals, but here north of the Border there was a nice mix of more traditional former BET, BTC and very Scottish products like the Volvo Ailsa and of course Alexander bodywork. The R-Series of bodywork seemed to suit the Ailsa and it's successor the Citybus best of all.
