Variations on a theme:


When mounted on the rival Bedford SB chassis, Duple incorporated some minor detail variations and badged it 'Super Vega'


I passed my PSV in one of these......it was of 1963 vintage at the time........ :y :y :y

It's at times like these that you need a certain Welshman with an unrivalled knowledge of buses to make an appearance... surprised Seth hasn't commented on this yet  ;D ;D
give him time, he`s just appeared on-line.  ::)

So chappies - what d'ya wanna see appearing next on this long-running thread?

Do we want heavyweight stuff (AEC/Bristol/Leyland etc) or perhaps a long-distance coaching theme?
Am sure that I could dig-out a good run of the latter with a fair old UK-wide selection, featuring the coaches of long gone famous names like Black & White, Royal Blue, Yelloway et al.

What ever you think, personally, as said before, some HGV info would go down well imo, passed my HGV class 1 in a Commer, also of 1963 vintage and iirc a crash box, and only 5 speed..... :y :y

Point taken Vamps, though we're talking 'Bus' Nostalgia.

HGV stuff's here: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=99405.0

Can you stick some photos etc on either/both threads? ;)

Hi Guys. :y
I cannot believe that this thread is still going. Its got to be a record.
What's happened to all the posted photos that were posted before the OOF site was up graded.
Admittedly I have not posted for ages, reasons I won't go into, but I have been popping on to the OOF now and again. Just to see who is still Migging!
Had to get rid of my last Miggy and could not find a decent one so I got a Veccy 3.2 GSI which still has a Miggy engine in it!!! ::)
I'll be on here more often now. ( If I'm allowed  :D )
I've missed this forum and this thread!! :'(  :'( :'(  :'(
