One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

I only really knew of him, but it looks as though he's had the kind of send off he would of wanted.

I expected the cream & blue Metro Mk I to be 6832 SDA832S which he part owned.

I believe it will be 4613 when it is repaired from fire damage, that is the bus requested by the family.

Was sad to hear about Ron, I used to see him often and chatted to him on quite a few occasions!

Boxing Day brings back memories of Ron. Some years ago on Boxing Day Lea Hall decided to put their last few Metrobuses on all their double deck routes. Ron somehow got to hear of this and spent much of the day in the Square Peg in Corporation Street, indulging in his two favourite hobbies, Metrobuses and beer.
