Not Bowled Over
Francis Drake is a company that I don't know a lot about, other than it was based in Blaina, operated a BMC Falcon, at least five Plaxton Primos and an assortment of Mercedes 709Ds, including a handful new to Stagecoach. It was also a major contractor for Monmouthshire County Council.
This shot from March 2008 showing Primo MX07 BAA was taken in Caerwent Village when she was operating Monmouthshire's Service 73D (Newport-Caerwent-Chepstow). Presumably the "D" signified Drake.
If I recall correctly, both Services 60 (Newport-Usk-Raglan-Monmouth) - usually Primo operated - and 83 (Abergavenny-Raglan-Monmouth) were also in the company's hands at the time.
The company ceased trading in November 2009 and a number of its Monmouthshire contracts then passed to Veolia.
