The only way is Wessex

Post by capercaillie »

Great old buses, I just loved the fact through their careers, they came in so many different colours. A few (to hand) to start.

Fantastic! I have a soft spot for the old Wessex as my local airfield was Shawbury where as a teenager I used to spend every available holiday at the fence watching the 2FTS birds endlessly doing circuits, aporoaches and other training manoeuvres. XT606 is like an old friend
