A collection of over 200 East Kent views from Russell Baldock (with a heavy Thanet bias!) dating from the 1980s:

Dick Gilbert’s Classic Buses site below contains a variety of bus content including rally dates, and plenty of vintage material on half-cab buses and coaches. www.skylineaviation.co.uk/buses/

Neil Sadler has built a sizeable site including not just buses but aircraft (some taken at Lydd Airport) and other Romney Marsh-related subjects - http://busesandcoachesofromneymarsh.fotopic.net/

And this site belonging to Paul Redmond contains a growing selection of Paul's black & white (and a few colour) photos particularly from the 1960s.  Recent additions include much more East Kent and Maidstone & District material, and some vintage views from independents such as Pilchers of Chatham and Horlocks of Northfleet, together with many other operators from further afield.
