If you look closely, the man is underneath the bus. Possibly, pulling a drive shaft out, prior to towing it away.

Welcome to the T&B forum, can you upload your photos to the gallery (In the correct catagory) and I might be able to turn your first photo upright.

Myopia is not too far from Utopia!

I wish you the best of luck. Anyone who wants to preserve a PSV with the words "Midland Red" slapped on the side must be OK (I did the same, many moons ago, on SHA 431). My only query is....what livery do you intend painting it? If my memory serves me right, it was originally delivered in that bloody awful Poppy Red livery, with a white top (as it was DP49F, or something like that).
