1. RV236 ... The other Tilling Stevens B10A2/Park Royal B30R new in 1931 was no 1 RV236.
2. FCG527 ... FCG527 was a Leyland PD1 with a Northern Coachbuilders L29/26R body which had been new in June 1947 to Hants & Sussex Motor Services Ltd. with fleet number L056. (Sun 14/9/58, Poole)
3. HHO164 ... 1949 Bedford OB/Duple C29F HHO164, new to Hants & Sussex and sold to Tremains, Zelah in 1951. Withdrawn in 1968. (Fri 16/4/71, Waste ground, Lusty Glaze Road, Newquay, Cornwall)
4. HOU866 ... HOU866 was a Leyland PS1/1 with a Duple FC33C body dating from 1950. (circa 1968, Shipley)
5. MXX343 ... This is GS43, MXX343 of Basil Williams Ltd, T/A Southern Motorways, Emsworth, Hants. (March 1972, Pub car park in Petworth, West Sussex)
6. JOU914 ... This photograph of JOU914, a Bedford SB with Duple C33F body new in 1952, poses a question. It has been in the collection of David Burrows for nearly 25 years but he has no information on who took it or where it is. The coach is owned by Basil Williams (Hants & Sussex) we know, and it subsequently came to Moody, Northfleet for a few years. (1952/3, Brunswick Street, Liverpool)
7. KHO718 ... New in May 1952, KHO718 was an A.E.C. 9621A Regal III with a Harrington FC35F body in the Glider & Blue, Bishops Waltham fleet of Basil Williams, Emsworth which is seen here at Wembley Stadium. (Sat 18/4/59, Wembley)
8. MXX302 ... Former London Transport GS2, MXX302, a Guy Special with ECW B26F body dating from 1952 is seen here operating for Southern Motorways. (1966, Midhurst)
9. MXX311 ... Southern Motorways MXX311, was former London Transport GS11, a Guy Special with ECW B26F body dating from 1953. (August 1966, Midhurst ?, Chichester ?)
10. 650AAA ... Robert Jowitt was a long-time resident of Winchester, and took many photographs of the local King Alfred fleet. Those of you with a copy of the history of King Alfred that he co-authored with James Freeman will be familiar with some of these. Whilst looking at some negatives on the lightbox, I first passed over this one as another shot of one of the KA Tiger Cubs WCG103-105. It's certainly very similar, but this is 650AAA, the vehicle bought new in 1960 for Basil Williams' Southern Motorways fleet at Emsworth, I think for the Thorney Island service. (1972, High Street, Winchester)
