I find it hard to believe that nearly a year or more has past since we attended our last bus event but I managed to break that run with a trip to the Wythall Bus Museum south of Birmingham. I went mainly at first to pick up my models that Peter Turland at Yardley Wood model Club had put by for me, it had mounted up to three boxes. Glad to see Peter is carrying on another year with reliable friendly service they are renowned for. It did give me my first taste of the delightful museum complex in the far suburbs of our second city. It also houses the electric vehicle collection that Roger de Boer was instrumental in starting. It was an opportunity of catching up with friends on the sales stand circuit and enthusiasts from the Midlands plus some of our viewers on Youtube, perhaps we cam tempt them to order DVDs or digital downloads. Of course for those who prefer their nostalgia from way back our many cine derived features never appear on the internet and thus are enjoyed by an older age group on the whole but hey if you are missing out you can't have everything in life for free. I did manage to get ample coverage today for a DVD programme. And with lousy weather tomorrow I'll get the covers for recent releases done and start the Down Your Way on Lancashire from 1958 onward and also Bus Spot Ultra Barnsley. Meanwhile here are some views from today at Wythall, sublime! Comments are closed.
