Many thanks...

So very sorry that so many buses were lost, tragic! How many are still undamaged? I used to own Leyland Tiger Cub 889AAX Jones of Aberbeeg, so I know how I would feel if I had lost it in similar circumstances

With the fire on 08 December 2023, although there were several historical buses were lost, only the JAA 708 Leyland Olympic was from the King Alfred fleet. The rest of the King Alfred fleet were not at the Penton site on that night.
