Sunday 31 December 1995 - Brothers Steve and Duncan MacKenzie based in West Row near Mildenhall, Suffolk each operated their own coach. Steve set up his own owner-driver business in the late 1980s normally operating just one coach. In the early 1990s Duncan, who I believe had at the time recently left the armed forces, also obtained a coach. (Possibly the two coaches were on the same operator’s licence in Steve’s name so I am treading carefully here in respect of true history!).

Left: Steve’s B284 AMG was Plaxton Paramount 3200 bodied Bedford YNV new in early 1985 to Arrowline of Hayes, Middlesex although it came from Veazey Coaches of Winwick, Cambridgeshire.

Right: Duncan’s VFK 661X was a Plaxton Supreme bodied Ford R1114 new to Sealandair of West Bromwich in August 1981.
