New Team at Hamstreet Country Show

Sunny weather on Saturday meant that we had a great day at Hamstreet Country Show. Rain on Sunday meant the opposite. However, we welcomed two new members of the team onto the bus - Gill and daughter Aimee (sounds like the Generation Game). They did a great job and got stuck in with big smiles on their faces. I am looking forward to working with Gill and Aimee over the summer months.  Not forgetting Ben who also did a great job in the Saturday heat.

Battle of Britain Memorial

The weather today was cloudy and cold  and and an icy wind blew across the Battle of Britain Memorial.  But the weather couldn't dampen the spirits of those watching the fly pasts by a Spitfire provided by Go Action Stations http://goactionstations.co.uk/ .  Many even joined the Spitfire in the air flying alongside in a helicopter.

Home Front Bus provided the attraction on the ground and a good time was had by all.

Faversham Historic Vehicle Weekend

Faversham Historic Vehicle Weekend turned out to be our busiest event to date.  The team worked tirelessly to accommodate the large number of visitors to the bus.  Many thanks are due to South East Coachworks for both inviting us and hosting us for the weekend.  Chris and his staff helped make a very hectic and busy weekend a pleasurable and stress free occasion.

Quotes of the weekend:

'Fantastic exhibition - very valuable for children to learn and understand'

'Fantastic!  Well worth a visit (again)'
