Working for A. T. Brown Coaches I usually see a few buses bringing people to the farms! Usually around Tiberton near Newport.

There's a farm complex north of Lichfield which has a mobile home park for itinerent workers and runs two Dennis/Alexander s/ds in an all-over green livery.

1103 was sold to highland country in August 2001 I believe and renumbered  504.
1104 I think went to south glos (patchway)  in January 2002,  1105 went to stanstead airport (spares)  in December 2000. 1106 was sold to Highland country in August 2001 re-numbered 506 and sold on in January 2002 1109 went to dunn line (nottingham) in June 2002 and sold on in February 2005. 1111 was sold to highland country in May 2001 and re-numbered 508 The vast majority of Lynx were sold to Eire  (bus eireann) between 2001 and 2003. and most, if not all were re-registered. two examples are... 1125 sold Aug 2001 re-reg to 89-D -52169 and 1270 sold Dec 2003 was later re regd as 90-D-55842 in April 2004. I expect most of these will have been scrapped by now but there must be some still running.  Hope this helps.

Can't remember for the life of me... 1128? That was just a wild stab in the dark to be honest.

I think it was in WMBuses silver and thin blue&red stripe livery. Excellent standard, mind.
