Eastern National
Bristol FLFs

Eastern National 2826, JHK461C. This entered in service in March 1965 and stayed in the fleet until November 1980 when it was withdrawn and sold along with 3 other FLFs to Southdown for spares.
Note the aluminium beading along the roofside above the top deck windows - this bus was significant in that it used much more glassfibre as an experiment - and foretaste of what was to come. There is an article about this bus by Peter Oughton on the EBEG site - click here to read it.
