| Details: Paul has been taking advantage of the COVID-19 lockdown to do some photo scanning, and two of the results are added today. Taken at the bus rally at North Weald in 1986, the subject is Leyland Freighter bus recovery truck 2418L. One of six bought by London Buses in the early 1980s, 2418L was based at Upton Park and ran on trade plate 303LA until 1990. Daimler Fleetline bus DMS1953 from Holloway garage had been in use on the drive-a-bus circuit but suffered from a detached fan shaft, resulting in the arrival of 2418L. In this view the bus is being removed from the former airfield, although I'm not sure why the lorry's headlights are on. Note that Forest District stickers have been applied to the front of the bodywork as well as the cabsides. The ensemble was also photographed by Kim Rennie. | |||
