Fred Langson
This is a picture of Fred Langson with his beloved Dog and the trophey Clevedon Motorways won at the Brighton Coach Rally in 1983.
Fred sadly passed away two years later of throat Cancer.
I hope the acheivements live on with what he and Richard acheived with Clevedon Motorways in these photos.
It has ammazed me putting these pictures together how coaching in the UK changed in the early 1980s going from touring Europe in Bedfords and Fords to the Heavy weight chassis of Volvo and Daf and the integeral design coaches like Neoplan,Setra and Vanhool just to name a few.
As a young lad with coaching in my blood it was an exciting period to eventualy be changed for ever with the low cost airlines who offered cheap flights to your desination at a fraction of the time.
The postcard later in these photos still brings a smile to my face how Fred advises Richard the coach ran well but he may need to do a brake reline, the drivers and passengers must of felt like adventurers and not just drivers as they are now in the modern world.
