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.
It's looking very smart here turning from Winchester High Street into Eastgate Street on what looks to be a private hire. It's dark red livery would have ensured that there would be no confusion with the home fleet!
