That explains why I saw 6506 (L506 TKA) near Flint Mountain the other week Im amazed that its still in Service after 23/24 years those B10s are bombproof

I know who L505 is preserved by now. LEts just say it is being kept at NWVRT base. Idk how much I can say.

I have heard as well put it that way :P

Award for the most pointless post goes to iMarkeh

New to the forum although I have been reading it for gen for quite a while, but never joined previously as I didn't have any gen (living in Birmingham I rarely get up to Merseyside!), but a colleague of mine sent me a pic a couple of weeks back of N599CKA which is currently located on a fruit farm near Lichfield which he found whilst out on a site visit. Not sure of the exact location, but it somewhere off the A515 between Lichfield and Kings Bromley.

It has been painted allover dark green, guess it is being used to shuttle workers to and from Lichfield for shopping etc, looks in a similar sort of condition to the buses regularly seen in Stafford shuttling farm workers to and from Tesco.
