RM238's 50th birthday celebrations

RM238 was first registered on 10th March 1960. We celebrated her 50th birthday by dressing her up and taking her for a curry. "Henrietta" (her name when operated by Bucks Free Press) didn't come into the restaurant but the rest of us enjoyed the evening enormously.









Here's to the next 50 years!

My bus number (if any): RM238, RM471 and RM2213

Happy 50TH Birthday to Henrietta Chris, hopefully I'll still own my old girl Roxy five years from now and give her a party to celebrate her Half-Century.
