Having established that the Gosport Bus Rally was indeed under way, I decided that the Stokes Bay venue was not the idea place to be between night duties and that Gosport Bus Station would be a better place to see some of the associated vehicles. This ex-Portsmouth Alexander bodied Atlantean VTP262L/262 is particularly beautiful in my eyes as it dates from a key part of my boyhood when I was first interested in buses and briefly had a very basic camera. Preserved buses are extensively photographed and rallies tend to attract similar exhibits but I think it is worthwhile to add to the library of such photographs so that, when some of these vehicles pass into history or adopt new guises, their existence and appearance at different times and in different places is recorded as thoroughly as possible.
