"Locating Dominators Part 3" |
|
| |
| After the last trip up North on 5th May, I had made enquiries on-going about the other 3 Dominators up North. I set out early this morning to go track down D17 and D6. I had an exact location of a riding school for D17, so went to seek out that one first. |
| |
| Sure enough, as I turned the corner, I saw a Moffat & Williamson bus on the hill, but as I got close it did not look like a Dominator... And it turned out to be an ex-Sheffield Atlantean. |

| Oh well. Another lead down the tubes. However I was guaranteed that D6 would be where I was told. I was led to believe that D6 was in a heavy vandalised condition lying at the back of Kineil Coaches in Fraserburgh - which was about 20 miles North from where i was. So off i went.... |
| |
| ...turned into the industrial estate in Fraserburgh where the yard was found, turned the corner and saw a White decker in the back corner of the yard. As i got closer it was indeed D6. |
| |
| D6 was indeed heavily vandalised and had her windows all smashed by kids in the neighbouring housing estate on New Years Day 2007. |

| Finding D6 bring the number of confirmed surviving Dominators to 4 (out of 51) - D3, D6, D22, D23. |
