Eastern National 2382, WNO483, is thought to have been unique in carrying NBC double arrow symbols either side of the blind box. It was decorated thus for display at the 1980 Central Works open day, part of EN's Golden Jubilee celebrations. Here it appears to be at the Southend Bus Rally in Southchurch Park. In was tragically destroyed the following year in the Prittlewell depot fire of August 26, 1981.
