Local vehicles and those of a Stagecoach theme that attended Duxford 2008, again no rain and plenty of sunshine. A early arrival ensured that most vehicles were taken on arrival. The parking of some was a little on the tight sideto say the least, but with 500 vehicles on site that had to be expected. Not having missed a showbus rally since 1982 (the first at Woburn) things have changed alot in 27 years.
