Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time these were a common sight along the roads of Britain, I seem to recall the RAC had blue ones, though they were maybe a little less frequent. Like busses I imagine they were never around when needed. There are certainly very few around now.

I was very surprised to see this AA box years ago when I first spotted it. Today, several years later I was able to stop and have a look. Much to my surprise the door was unlocked and inside there was a mini museum of photographs and a visitors book, which I duly signed.

I discovered this AA Box has its own web site which shows the history of the refurbishment of the Box in 2009. I think I have seen one or two others around. This one is on the A93 at Cambus O' May, about four miles west of Ballater.
