To prevent the search engine from returning useless results for combination of word search's, prefix each word with a + (Plus Sign - not necessary for single word search's). Other search tips:

• Enter Registration Numbers with no spaces (eg. KDL145F - not KDL 145 F or KDL 145F)
• Prefix & Append Fleet Numbers with Quotation Marks and Square Brackets "[ & ]" (eg. "[621]" - not [621] or 621)
• To search for a combination of words, prefix each word with a +, do not enclose in quotation marks (eg. +apple +green - not apple green or "apple green")
• To search for an exact phrase use quotes around the phrase (eg. "Route Rouge Red").
• To match a near (within a couple of words) phrase, use square brackets [around the words]
  Example: [free search engine].
• To match a far (within several words) phrase, use braces { around the words }
  Example: {free search engine}

In addition, there are several ways to modify the default search behavior.

1. + and - qualifiers
   If you prepend a word with + that word is required to be on the page.
   If you prepend a word with - that word is required to not be on the page.
   Example: +always -never
2. * wildcard
   If a query word ends with a * all words on a page which start the same way as that query word will match.
   Example: gift*
3. ? wildcard
   If a query word contains a ? any character will match that position.
   Example: b?g
4. boolean search
   You can use the following boolean operators in your search: AND, OR, NOT. These operators MUST be in capital letters.
   Example: (contact AND us) OR (about AND us)

All of these techniques can be combined: +alway* -ne??r*

Problems viewing pages

Some photographs on this website will completely fill your screen when viewed at a resolution of 800 x 600 dpi - if you are using MicroSoft Internet Explorer then you can view the entire photograph by pressing your F11 key (toggle Full Screen mode). To return to normal viewing simply press the F11 key again!

On some occasions you may experience difficulty loading, or viewing, pages on this website.
Most days are fine, but on other days you may experience long delays in pages loading or the page may not load at all. If you experience this problem then please re-visit the site either at a different time of day or on a different day.

Another problem, that you may experience, is that the page will load but some, or all, of the images will not be shown. If this occurs then select your show picture (or similar) option of your web browser and the image should then commence to appear. Only, as a last resort, select your refresh option to reload the page. If this fails, then please let me know the page that you are experiencing difficulty with and I will check to ensure that the file(s) exist.

There are some differences in British and North American terms & conventions - just a quick note of the British conventions used on this site:

• Date format used here is European ie. Day/Month/Year and not Month/Day/Year,
• Nearside refers to port, or left, of vehicle when in driving position,
• Offside refers to starboard, or right, of vehicle when in driving position,
• Wing means Fender,
• Bonnet means Hood,
• Boot means Trunk,

Which I'm sure you already knew, but this should otherwise clarify things.
