Some of my 1/76 scale model buses and coaches, some I have stripped the paint off and re-sprayed them using correct colours and decals for different bus companies )I think they are called code three)
My Nephew is mad on buses and coaches. He lives in Louth.

Having only just discovered this thread, i'm still reeling from hearing that driving the other side of the channel i'll no longer be able to count 'Norberts', or occasional 'double Norberts'.

As far as I'm concerned, 10 milliseconds down a cave wouldn't be fun... My dread of confined spaces deep underground is only exceeded by my fear of extremely unconfined spaces high above ground (exposed heights)!
Heights in caves are less scary than above ground as it's dark. Mind you I nearly bottled a 300m abseil when I looked down to see 5 cavers' lamps below me spaced some 40m apart. (once you've passed each belay, the next person can start down). It was an epic trip so glad I carried on, emerging from the bottom entrance some 14 hours later

I love bouldering walls, but put me on a rope more than 15 feet off the ground and I start to sweat.
I won't be going near your abseil!
Being in confined undergroud spaces is a bit 'ick' but not as bad as being on a rope at height.
Having said that, I saw Goatchurch mentioned earlier, and the passage known as the Drainpipe is pretty awful. It was first ever cave!
Found someone's video on youtube for all;; enjoy the drainpipe.

Takes me back! That was easy for me being drainpipe thin at the time! Some of the larger members of the group struggled!!🤣

Ian, I have a few of these model buses, I enjoy changing the livery on them to represent some of the buses I used to travel on as a kid when I lived in Nottingham I don't know why I chose to collect them because I've never driven one or worked on any
This is one I converted from a red and white London trolley bus to Nottingham city transport Trolley bus, correct colours and transfers
I think memories are great when you see a vehicle you have travelled in. Memories can fade, but seeing one can bring those memories back.
