their bus drivers and conductors, the Ribble bus crews also had tea & snacks in there.
The green bus is a Leyland of Liverpool Corporation, and the red bus, also a Leyland
is of Ribble Motor Service. The little white lorry is a BMC FG series vehicle.

I’ve just got back from this years show which has been on for the last 3 days. I’ll post some photos I took, apologies if any are the same as last year but I tried my hardest to take some different ones.
Found online so not sure where this was taken. Ouistreham perhaps? I do remember those Norby Trailer Savoyade tilts (bottom right). I used to pull them out of Dover docks on traction work - mostly triaxle ones. Being a short-arse I wasn’t so keen on those high drop-sides.
It shouldn’t be too difficult to date this image, as the period will be somewhere between the beginning of series 2 Scanias and the beginning of Ferrymasters trailers bearing the P&0 logo.
