As has been mentioned elsewhere, I have changed the photograph which I've used as a profile photo for as long as I've dabbled in the world wide web. The previous photo (below left) was the nearest I could find, at the time, to the bus in which I had taken my PSV test in 1961 and it also seemed appropriate for my username of Omnibusologist. However, although I had driven Guy buses in the past and although I took the photo myself, I was never entirely at ease with it as my profile photo. The position of the headlights, for example, or the colou-scheme wasn't quite right.

Imagine my delight, therefore, when David Beilby of Saddleworth Buses gave me permission to use the photo on the right (above); because, not only was it identical to the bus I drove in the aforementioned PSV test, it was a vehicle I had actually driven on several occasions in the sixties. Equally appealing is the fact that the photograph was taken at the bus-stop at the bottom of the road where my family had lived in the fifties.
