ALL ORDERS CLEARED BUSY EDITING

I expect many of you have heard that Preston Bus, the large employee owned independent, qusi muinicipal lookas as if its gone to Stagecoach, I expect massive route / vehicle reductions after the sale.

Family Historians will be ploughing through the National Archive early release of the 1911 census, we've had a dip into it, not that easy if you are used to Ancestry but you can eventually get results, neat and easy to use print outs with extra info.

Hope meet my contact for the China trip at the travel Show in Manchester today.

The photo was our helicopter trip onto Franz Josef Glacier on South Island New Zealand, the weather had delayed flight from previous afternoon, a brief break and we set off, landed, then it closed in, the pilot had to recall us seconds after landing in the snow and we then sat in the helicopter waiting fort another chopper to get away and then operate on a one bird in flight basis to get to safety amidst the driving snow.





At Fox or Franz Josef


Nelson where we landed after our trip to Bay of Islands

The whole fleet at Nelson was parked up during the New Year holiday



a last shot of Fiji, what I called the Knackered fleet.
