Also in later years i remember fondly what seemed to me to be the massive fleet of MK1 & MK2 Leyland Nationals opperated by Provincial Buses.
Having 2 brothers in the Royal Navy we used to visit the Portsmouth and Gosport areas regularly and I used to love the old Bristol REs on the Gosport - Rowner/Bridgemary/Fareham services, not to mention the mk1 Nationals. Gosport Bus Station was a favourite spotting location, not that I used to take numbers or anything just used to like looking at them...

Also we used to head out on the Portsmouth City Transport bus (was it still the Corporation?) to Leigh Park (21 ??). I seem to recall there was a sensor at the exit door step that you had to stand on to open the door. Or was that a wind up for a young lad like me??

Any of these I'd love to see again, brings back so many memories. View attachment 11866
