Q1: YES, there are now 3 "ownerships" at Wisbys. Doug is looking at selling, so his sons have brought a run each, if the main business is sold. They were not interested in taking on the whole business. Q2: D.Wisby (son 1) brought Squires Kingston early in the year. M.Wisby (son 2) brought Roland Margate 1 August.

Great Shots Neil
Just a question with the Scania's coming from Melbourne Airport, would they have had their seating capacity upgraded? and if so how many do they now fit?
