2 august 2009 - Gosport, UK - Stokes Bay: With correct destination showing, this wartime `utility` Guy Arab 1 is in the same town as it always operated in service, being the first ever Guy bought by the Gosport and Fareham Omnibus Company. Guy was one of only a few builders authorised by the Government to supply new buses at this time, as raw materials were very scarce and nearly all were required to make weapons of war. Bus bodies were therefore very basic in construction and the materials used were very poor - like most utility vehicles, this one didn`t have a long life and was completely rebodied in 1955.
