The aim of this series is to appeal to readers of all ages, perhaps
for different reasons... In this volume: We travel all the way back
to the year 1956 * The UK bans heroin * RAF retires last Lancaster
bomber * Suez crisis causes UK petrol rationing * First Eurovision
Song Contest broadcast * Hard disk drive invented * TV broadcasting
begins in Australia For the younger reader there are wonderful
pictures of buses and coaches that they will never have seen. There
will, for example, be half-cab single and double deckers the like
of which are no longerin production. Some will be recognised from
models and books, while others will be seen for the first time. For
the older reader the books are designed to build into a collection
placing road transport in the context of key events, thus providing
an historical perspective of travel in times past. For those old
enough to remember the years depicted, the series will, we hope,
provide reminders for many of school days, time perhaps spent
bus-spotting, depot visiting and generally visiting interesting
locations! The books also make ideal theme gifts for the year of
birth, marriage, retirement, starting work and other such
