Historic buses

Hi Roderick,
In that nbig box of '50's and '60's piccys, can you have a look for pics of Flxible Clippers, and if at all possible the inside of one?

AFAIK I have only exteriors, and most should be up already, probably in the events section. My only ride in one was Zeehan - Strahan in Jan.72, and I didn't take a photo. I am on a group tour to Hamilton on 13.11. Is the preserved Ansett Pioneer one kept at that museum?

There is a new Flexible Clipper started in General Truck Chat: < www.hcvc.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1414491427> ;

Here are two of mine, copied across from the Events section. I have more up, but I am not finding them.
These are from the Sun.25.11.90 HCVC display at International Harvester, Dandenong.

I found where two more were hiding.
Two at the Sun.30.11.03 HCVC Sandown Display.

Probably Kojonup: Perth - Albany Scenicruiser, Guy Victory G59. Mon.13.1.69. (Roderick Smith)

From < www.perthbus.info/report.php?vid=WAGR59> ;
G59: Guy Victory WUM Chassis WUM3095; Body MBB 07/61 RC36F
There were three of these, known as 'Scenicruisers', and they covered the major south-western routes.
A feature was having a galley, with hostess service, but its range was limited.
My memory is that the Williams stop was in a street; this crew-break stop must have been Kojonup.
