April 27th 2020: From our archives..... FLFs at Peterborough depot in the early 1980s

27/4/2020

We have searched to the bottom of our archive box today and bring you two images from Eastern Counties Peterborough depot in the very early 1980s, which are perhaps of questionable quality having not survived well over the last 40 years. First up is Bristol FLF FLF469 (KNG469D) which was new in November 1966 and operated until late 1982 when it was exported to Florida.

Next up is another Bristol FLF, FLF463 (KAH463D) was new in October 1966 and like FLF469 remained operational with Eastern Counties until late 1982. Following its withdrawal we understand it was sold and used as a Staff Bus by Matchbox Toys. It is parked up at Lincoln Road depot alongside Leyland National LN563 (PVF363R).
