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.

An 828 Basking in the Bretonside Sunshine
I'm sure many of us have a lucky or favourite number, mine is 828 as it is the date of my Birthday and coincidentally the registrastion of my mother's red mini-countryman which I learnt to drive in all those years ago. So as a bus photographer I've always viewed buses carrying a 28 on them as particularly worthy of a shot, and I obviously hit the jackpot when I photographed the Somerset operator Berry's fine Plaxton bodied AEC Reliance WGN 828M at Plymouth. It was taken in the Eighties and the coach started life with the East London firm Essex County Coaches in 1974.
