AEC Renown / Park Royal #595
2 august 2009 - Stokes Bay, Gosport, Hampshire (UK) – The second of the two ex-King Alfred AEC Renown double-deckers preserved by Friends of King Alfred Buses. This type was the replacement for the AEC Bridgemaster, but not many were sold. Not a very attractive style, in my opinion, but mechanically OK – this was the final AEC half-cab style.

AEC Renown / Park Royal #596
2 august 2009 - Stokes Bay, Gosport, Hampshire (UK) – King Alfred of Winchester was a much-loved operator you will not have seen before – but now it’s too late, as it closed down in 1973. This was one of the very few privately-owned UK bus companies to run bus services on behalf of a city. The Friends of King Alfred Buses have restored several of their vehicles - this is a semi-automatic AEC Renown of 1964 – the first Renown pictured on TWB.
