Alton; A great day out?

I don't really like taking pictures of buses lined up on the grass at bus rallies but some days are better and more memorable than others. Perhaps the best last year was when we roared down to Alton in Hampshire in my friend's Midland Red Leopard 227. Once Aldershot and District had a garage here so there were plenty of them to enjoy and also it's nearby big BET Group brother Southdown who also shared a similar attractive green an cream livery and which came into the town. Despite being built in the 1930's this stylish and elegant Leyland TD7 GCD 48 could almost have been a Post-War bus. Had it not been such a pleasant day I probably would still have remembered it as I got stung by a wasp and also the following Sunday as well which swelled up. Ouch!
