Re: The Petersham Hole

For some reason Bermard Cribbins and his song "Hole In the Ground" springs to mind...

Re: The Petersham Hole

Paul, I'm sure the Vectis Bus Museum in Ryde would be grateful to receive your archive stuff. I have a couple of friends locally to ashford Kent who go to the Island regularly who I'm sure would take stuff over by car as they are IWSR members.

Re: The Petersham Hole

Hi Roy,
As well as living and working on the Isle of Wight for the last 32 years, I am a life member and one of the committee of the Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum (don't let some of them hear you call it the Vectis Museum as there are some members who are vigorously anti-Vectis and feel it is too Vectis orientated). I am also a long time member of the London Bus Museum (or Cobham as some of us still prefer to call it) so all the archive that I have collected over many years will eventually end up safely in collections where they should be. My wife and family are well aware of what should happen in the event of my demise. In the meantime I am still in the process of sorting and using the collection for reference purposes myself, but thanks for the offer anyway.

My bus number (if any): RMC1469
