HMS Ryde 1939 - 1945
In 1939 PS Ryde and PS Sandown were requisitioned by the Royal Navy. She was renamed as HMS Ryde and initially both were used as Minesweepers in the Dover Straits. After two years Ryde was converted to an anti-aircraft ship and served on the Thames Estuary and at Harwich. In May 1944 she travelled to Portsmouth from where she embarked to the Normandy coast to take part in the naval component of Operation Neptune on D-Day.
IKEA unveiled its new PS 2014 collection to the press last week in New York, and it’s filled with affordable, multi-functional pieces designed specifically for on-the-go urbanites living in small spaces.
PS Coaches of Abingdon came to Windsor coach park today (28/07/2025) with 6 of their 10-strong fleet. The origins of this Oxfordshire firm stem from Percival's Coaches run by the Skinner family who have been operating private hire vehicles since 1929. Percivals became Tourex then The School Bus Company before establishing PS Motor Services with Piers Skinner taking over the family business in December 2018.
The current fleet consists of 2x Temsa Safari HD, 2x VDL SB4000 / Van Hool Alizee, 3x Volvo/Plaxtons, 1x Volvo/Van Hool T9, 1x Dennis Trident / East Lancs and 1x Ford Transit.
It helps to have good contacts within this wonderful hobby and indeed it was a message from one such friend that prompted me to take an extended lunch break in Windsor today. Many thanks B!
