Four images of red Routemaster buses on Salisbury Plain
IMBERBUS... Double decker Routemaster buses going to Imber village on Salisbury Plain. The uninhabited village was evacuated in 1943 to create a training area for US troops preparing for D-Day. It was the only village not to be returned after the war #busses #imber #imberbus #routemaster #wiltshire
Long queue of people next to a signboard saying "CHURCH OPEN"
St. Giles church in Imber was popular today #ImberBus
A warning sign about unexploded shells is also full of bullet holes.
Warning signs at #ImberBus are also target practice.
Back out of the military lands for coffee, cake, and cellular.
