Busworld Photography: Topless Adventurer in Plymouth: Atlantean WJY 758

BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

Topless Adventurer in Plymouth: Atlantean WJY 758

I'm afraid by the time I took this photo Plymouth was awash with those awful minibuses, but at least to see over the top of them all there were still a few Corporation Leyland Atlanteans about and it was even better still to ride on one of the open-toppers as the rather pleasant engine noise drowned out the ubiquitous shrill squawking of greedy seagulls. This one called 'Plymouth Adventurer' wasn't doing anything exciting or bold just heading down to the Barbican and Hoe and back. Now No.458 this bus WJY 758 was new as 158 in 1962 and was seen in the late Eighties.
