| On the Saturday before Christmas 2009, a trip was made to view Roger Burdett's collection of restored and part-restored buses and coaches, plus buses of other individuals on both sites in Warwickshire and Staffordshire. It was an unbelievable day with a rare insight, into what is going on behind the scenes of the restoration of some very important vehicles. With many thanks to Roger and Lin for their wonderful hospitality in such freezing conditions. |
