pete.mason:
I used to go to the canteen from time to time to service the R Whites dispenser- Took a week to get the smell of fried food off me, my tools and even the van.

KeithG:
Both my Parents worked for Maidstone & District Buses and were stationed at the Gillingham Depot
Mum and her Sister worked there around 1941 and my Dad after the War up to 1952.


One of my Dad`s friends at the Depot did an Indian Ink drawing in October 1942 from memory of the night of the 27th August 1940 when the Depot was hit by Bombs.
I still have this today and do treasure it...i have put up in the pictures as it is so realistic?
