| 310. JHK461C 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 This entered in service in March 1965 and stayed in the fleet until November 1980 when it was withdrawn and sold along with 3 other FLFs to Southdown for spares. Photo taken 1970(?), Basildon | |

| 319. LWC661C Eastern National FLF LWC661C was new in June 1965 as 2835, and was withdrawn in 1980, passing in November of that year to Southdown Motor Services in Brighton, where it was cannibalised for spare mechanical parts. In September 1981, it was either sold or donated to Drusillas Zoo Park at Alfriston, Sussex, where it still resides as a "Zoo Lab", minus engine and other mechanicals.

| 325. MVX878C This ENOC FLF made it into the fleet and elegant livery of Essex independent Hedingham & District. New in September 1965 as 2841, MVX878C was sold to Hedingham upon withdrawal from ENOC in February 1981. Hedingham operated it until the end of 1988, then sold it on to Thorne, Bromsgrove as a driver trainer. Photo taken June 1988, North Weald Rally | |
| 326. MVX885C Eastern National FLF, MVX885C, new as 2848 in 1965, was converted to open top and renumbered 2302 in April 1979. Photo taken April 1979, Prittlewell Garage | |

| 331. OPU822D Seen at a Southend Bus Rally in the early 1980s is OPU822D, former Eastern National 2857. New to ENOC in February 1966, OPU was withdrawn in 1980, then in February 1981 was sold on to Hedingham and District whose livery it wears in this shot. In June 1988, the bus was sold to well-known Swiss operator Londag near Zurich. | |

| 333. OVX297D This is former ENOC 2853, OVX297D, owned by Mart Leek of Monnickendam, Holland ex Top Deck (he bought 7 although 2 are stuck elsewhere; this is the only one that is ex-ENOC). Photo taken Thursday 24 October 2002, Holland | |
| 334. OWC183D Eastern National CF 393, OWC183D, Bristol MW / ECW coach. New to Tillings Travel as T313 in February 1966, to Eastern National in April 1968. Rebuilt with power operated doors and roof line destination box by Marshalls, reseated to B43F and renumbered 1451 January 1975. Withdrawn September 1980. Photo taken Saturday 12 August 1972, Colchester | |
| 335. RHK346D No, Paul couldn't believe it either! A chance encounter en route to an early morning meeting in London (and with his camera on board too), found him taking this shot near Kings Cross early on the morning of January 23rd, 1992. RHK346D, former 2861, became ENOC driver trainer 9010 in 1979, was withdrawn in 1981, and passed to Gwent Community Services apparently converted to a mobile toilet. Photo taken Thursday 23 January 1992, near Kings Cross, London | |
| 336. RVW392D Caught in Basildon Bus Station, sometime early in 1971, is Eastern National RVW392D (2866) operating the 400 service to London Kings Cross Photo taken early 1971, Basildon Bus Station | |
| 337. RVW393D RVW293D is one of two former ENOC FLFs in use as mobile homes in Aberdeenshire. The current owner acquired both from Northern Scottish many years ago, but although converted to semi open top mobile homes they remain in active use and in good condition. As you can see, they are kept in premises that many an operator would die for! The additional pipework on the front is apparently to aid cooling! Photo taken 2001 | |
| 338. RWC943D Believed to be former ENOC FLF RWC943D, the second of two former ENOC FLFs in use as mobile homes in Aberdeenshire. Photo taken 2001 | |
| 339. STW763D Seen parked in the yard of Top Deck's farm in Woking during the Summer of 1995 is STW763D, former 2875, which joined the Top Deck fleet as "Rush" late in 1982. The FLF on the right, whose rear bay is just visible, is former ENOC 2913 (WWC743F). Photo taken Summer 1995, Woking | |
| 340. STW763D Ugly as the back-end of a bus? Actually, I always thought the rear of an FLF to be quite handsome - more so when the rear upturned 'T' destination blinds were fitted. This view from April 1996, outside the Top Deck workshop in Chelsea sees former 2913, WWC743F, alongside former 2875, STW763D, being prepared for the summer season of trips and tours. Photo taken April 1996, Chelsea | |
| 341. STW765D Seen "in store" in Chelsea in 1996, is Eastern National FLF STW765D - former 2877, withdrawn in June 1982, and via Norths (dealer), passing to Top Deck Travel as "Stew" by the end of 1982. Photo taken Friday 19 April 1996, Chelsea | |
| 342. SVX277D SVX277D was one of the 1966 Eastern National FLFs that made the long trek North of the Border in exchange for a Bristol VR in September 1971. Between then and 1980, SVX served with W Alexander & Sons (Midland) Ltd, before being sold on to dealer Martins of Middlewich, then to Castrol Oils, Ellesmere Port, where it resided for many years. | |
| 343. SVX278D New in 1966, FLF6G 2879, SVX278D, was swapped in October 1971 to W Alexander & Sons (Midland), in Falkirk Scotland, as part of the well documented exchange for VRTs. Midland operated it until 1980, and then sold it on to a Scout Group in Aberdeen. Photo taken August 1983 | |
| 344. AEV812F One of the last batch of Eastern National FLFs overtaking one of the first batch! SD2918, AEV812F, passing one of the nn TVX batch. Some of the evolvement of the FLF body can be seen in this photo, the most noticeable being that the newer FLF has only one cream band, has cream rather than black window rubbers and is longer (with longer rear side windows). Photo taken Saturday 31 July 1971, Southend | |
| 345. AVW403F The very next day after Southend Transport’s last PD3 made its final run, Hadleigh allocated 2944 was used on all day service as a similar farewell operation, again complete with Richard Delahoy-produced headboard which included an EN fleetname once on the side of a coach FLF. Photo taken Saturday 1 August 1981, Shoebury East Beach | |
| 346. AVW403F Later on the final day of FLF operation at Hadleigh, more “last day” notices were added either side of the destination, claiming 2944 was “The Last Half Cab Bus in Southend” (forgive Richard for distorting history!! – but who would have expected RMs to appear in the town 10 years later?). The shot was taken just into August 2nd, 1981 as 2944 ran into Hadleigh for the final time. Photo taken Sunday 2 August 1981, Hadleigh | |
| 347. UEV219E Second view of former Eastern National FLF UEV219F, new as 2881 and was part of the FLF/VRT swop which occurred in 1971 when it became MRD 207 with W. Alexander and Sons (Midland) Ltd. Photo taken Sunday 15 October 2000, Quebec | |
| 348. UEV219E This is a former Eastern National FLF despite its triangular Scottish destination display. This bus was new as 2881 (UEV 219E) and was part of the FLF/VRT swop which occurred in 1971 when it became MRD 207 with W. Alexander and Sons (Midland) Ltd. Photo taken Sunday 15 October 2000, Quebec | |
| 349. UEV220E Eastern National 2882, UEV220E, one of the three "E" registered ENOC FLFs in Colchester, just before it was sent to Scotland in October 1971 Photo taken October 1971, Colchester | |

| 351. WNO973F Do not adjust your set! Here is WNO973F (former 2885) in April 1987 at the Spitalfields depot of Stagecoach. This bus was new in September 1967, and after withdrawal in 1981 passed through APT (dealer), Bracebridge Heath to Ensign (dealer), Purfleet in January 1982, then to W Irvine of Law in February 1982, to Stagecoach, Perth, in January 1984, and was full broken up by Stagecoach by June 1988. | |

| 357. WNO976F WNO976F (former Eastern National 2888) is seen here with Pennine Pizza who had several FLFs. They acquired it from Norths (dealer), Sherburn, in April 1983 | |
| 358. WNO980F Eastern National FLF6LX 2892, WNO980F, seen here in intermediate livery (NBC green/white, but with yellow ENOC fleetname on the front cowl) Photo taken August 1974, Basildon | |

| 360. WNO984F Eastern National WNO984F (2896) also found its way to Stagecoach, Perth, in April 1982, direct from Ensign (dealer), Purfleet. Scrapped by Jones, Carlton, by October 1984, it is seen here in the Stagecoach yard in Perth, obviously near the end of its days, and alongside former 2789 (SVX278D). | |
| 361. WVX525F Eastern National WVX525F (2898) was the first of the FLF6LXs to be converted for One Man Operation following an accident in September 1972. In the process it lost its Cave Brown Cave heating system. It was sold to W H Fowler & Sons of Holbeach Drove in December 1982, and then to Joe Sykes in Carlton. | |
| 362. WVX525F This view of Southend Seaway terminus dates from 1968, and shows two Eastern National FLF6LX buses - WVX525F and WWC741F- about to depart on 251 and 151 respectively. Photo taken 1968, Southend Seaway | |

| 366. WVX527F Seen at Peter van der Merwe's in Dordrecht, Holland, this was Eastern National FLF6LX 2900, WVX527F, later 'Da Bus' of Top Deck Travel. It has been substantially rebuilt but retains the semi-auto gearbox and the forward-ascending staircase. The CBC heating has been removed. Photo taken Wednesday 23 October 2002, Dordrecht, Holland | |
| 367. WVX527F The first shot of many, featuring the ENOC FLFs that served long and hard in the fleet on 'Top Deck Travel'. ENOC 2900, WVX527F, another of the 1967 31ft Semi autos, was withdrawn by ENOC in 1981, and by 1983 had arrived in the Top Deck fleet where it was named 'Da Bus'. Photo taken Friday 19 April 1996, outside Top Deck's short lived depot in Chelsea, SW London | |
| 368. WVX528F Former Eastern National WVX528F (2901) is seen here in September 1987 in the Stagecoach "graveyard" in Perth - it came to Stagecoach in May 1983, via North (dealer) , Sherburn, in June 1982, then Rapsons of Brora Brora. By September 1988, WVX was broken up completely. Photo taken September 1987, Perth | |

| 371. WVX530F Another shot of the former Eastern National 2903 - WVX530F, snapped by Maurice Bateman in a street in Twickenham in May 1991. All ICI decals removed, this was the last sight of the bus on public roads - less than a year later it was locked up in a scrapyard near Slough, where it has stayed ever since. Photo taken May 1991, Twickenham | |
| 372. WVX530F Seen in the yard of Ensign Bus in 1988, former Eastern National 2903, WVX530F, was sold on to Norths (dealer) in 1981, then quickly to Ensign and to Bus Fare Ltd, Albury, as a mobile hospitality unit Photo taken 1988 | |
| 373. WVX531F This sad sight of former 2904 at Norths (dealer) in Sherburn near Leeds is particularly pointed as this was never supposed to happen. WVX was sold on to Norths from ENOC in June 1982, and saw service with the nearby Knottingley Emblems Jazz Band. A frequent visitor to Norths, this bus was wrongly diagnosed as having a cracked engine block in late 1990, so the Emblems got a new bus, and WVX was put out to pasture - but the inevitable happened. Photo taken September 1991, Norths (dealer), Sherburn near Leeds | |
| 374. WVX532F Many ex-ENOC FLFs were sold on through dealers to the young Stagecoach company in Perth in 1982/3. Former 2905, WVX532F, was one that lasted longer than most. Paul even contemplated buying this bus from Stagecoach when he was looking for parts for AVX975G, but the price strangely increased between phone calls by £2000, and so WVX stayed in Perth. Seen here in November 1988, breaking up on site for spares was well underway. Photo taken November 1998, Perth | |
| 375. WVX532F This unusual shot dates from January 1984, and is taken in the Spitalfield yard of Stagecoach. Three former Eastern National FLF6LXs can be seen in this view - on the extreme left, a glimpse of AEV820F in Stagecoach livery. In the middle is WVX532F, still in ENOC/NBC green and white livery. Nearest to the camera are the remains of AEV812F (ex-2918), which was sadly destroyed by fire late in 1983 Photo taken January 1984, Stagecoach Spitalfield Yard | |
| 376. WWC742F WWC742F was a 1967 semi-Automatic FLF6LX numbered 2912 in the ENOC Fleet, and was withdrawn in June 1982, passing to Norths (dealer) of Sherburn. By August 1982, it had joined the fleet of Scottish independent Wilson's Supreme Travel of Carnwath. During its time with Wilson's, WWC lost its front upper deck opening windows, and several hoppers and sliders on each side. Not exactly sure when, but this bus passed through London Bus Export Company and was exported to the US. Photo taken Tuesday 3 September 1991, Farmington, NY | |
| 377. WWC743F Ugly as the back-end of a bus? Actually, I always thought the rear of an FLF to be quite handsome - more so when the rear upturned 'T' destination blinds were fitted. This view from April 1996, outside the Top Deck workshop in Chelsea sees former 2913, WWC743F, alongside former 2875, STW763D, being prepared for the summer season of trips and tours. Photo taken April 1996, Chelsea | |
| 378. AEV812F This unusual shot dates from January 1984, and is taken in the Spitalfield yard of Stagecoach. Three former Eastern National FLF6LXs can be seen in this view - on the extreme left, a glimpse of AEV820F in Stagecoach livery. In the middle is WVX532F, still in ENOC/NBC green and white livery.

| 381. AEV814F One of the May 1968 semi-automatic FLF6LX deliveries, this bus (2920, AEV814F) served with Eastern National until 1981, and was sold on to Norths (dealer) of Sherburn, then to Gwyneth M Hancock, Greetland, who had fitted the bus out as "Changes Boutique" by June 1983. By May 1985, however, 2920 had been sold on again to John Waddingtons of Leeds, who used the bus as a mobile showroom for their board games. Photo taken Wednesday 24 May 1995, Antwerp | |

| 386. AEV820F In April 1982, Stagecoach of Perth acquired former Eastern National 2926, FLF6LX AEV820F. This shot shows it in full Stagecoach livery at their Perth yard. It was withdrawn with accident damage in January 1985 and presumably scrapped on site along with so many other of their ex-ENOC FLFs. | |

| 389. AVW397F This yellow open topper is no less than former Eastern National 2928, AVW397F. This bus was one of the ENOC FLFs converted for OMO operation, but in April 1979 was loaned to United Counties, then in June 1979 to Alder Valley, before returning to ENOC in November 1979. Never reinstated, 2928 was sold to Ensign (dealer) in December 1980, and exported to Hong Kong in May 1981. It joined the Citybus fleet with number B21, and was converted to open top by January 1985. Photo taken Friday 15 November 1985, Citybus yard in Tsuen Wan MTR Station, Hong Kong | |

| 392. AVW398F AVW398F was new to Eastern National in July 1968 as 2929. In 1973, it was one of the FLFs converted by ENOC for one man operation, but saw little service in that guise. By December 1982, it had been sold on through dealer Norths of Sherburn to independent Fowler's of Holbeach Drove. It was withdrawn in July 1988, and sold to dealer Joe Sykes of Carlton by January 1989. Photo taken Wednesday 28 May 1997, Venlo | |

| 407. AVX975G Paul Harrison's personal favourite - mainly because he's owned it since 1988! AVX was new to ENOC as coach 2614 in August 1968. One of only 5 FLFs to get a "G" registration, the last Lodekka chassis numerically, ENOC's last new half-cab bus, and one of only 5 31ft, semi automatic Coaches were the attributes that led him to rescue AVX from Ensign (dealer) as it was due to be exported to Australia. AVX was converted to bus specification in 1975, and passed in 1982 to an Eastern National Preservation Group member who had sold it on to Ensign by 1985, where it lay until the successful rescue bid in 1988.
