New arrival with a couple of connections

Many moons ago I worked for a bus company called Midland Fox. Since then, I've been an avid collector of their buses in model form.
The red and yellow livery was very distinctive and avant garde at the time.
So I already had the model on the left, then received the one on the right today via Ebay. This bus is also a Midland Fox bus, which ended up being transfered to Colchester Borough Transport (and repainted in that livery). Both companies were members of the same group at the time: British Bus.
In exchange Midland Fox received some double deckers from Colchester.

The Colchester model was released several years ago, so I'm quite pleased to get one finally. At least I didn't need to pay any "BREXIT tax" when it arrived.

Another connection is that my maternal Grandma was from Colchester, her family were also from a village outside the city called Layer de la Haye.
My Mum was born in Colchester, but she moved with her parents and sister to Leicester when she was about 3 years old.
