Introduction – About this website

Welcome to the  “our Buses” website/blog.  This forms  the restoration diary of my AEC Regal Mark I, HUO 510 (formerly Devon General SR510) and a record of some of our travels with my Bristol MW5G, HHW 452D, former Bristol Omnibus 2636.  I created this site largely for my own record and amusement, however if you wish to comment or contact me, please do so through my Nigel Furness Facebook page via messenger.
