After yesterdays launch of Ipswich Buses Mercedes Benz Citaro's time to step back into the time tunnel and recall two very different pictures the first is very local the second more to the west of the region. First picture illustrates the unique East Lancs Dennis Falcon C106 SDX bought at the same time with the Bristol B21's, the attractive half green and cream evidently was a throwback to the 1970's and in my opinion was an attractive livery and of the various types of Falcon body was probably the most attractive, 106 ended up in Jordans of Coltishall scrapyard, sadly being scrapped for a unique bus a shame. Below we see Eastern Counties Bristol KSW LKH 269 LNG 269 in Cambridge and with the Mini Van alongside it with an H reg Plate of 1969 it would indicate between it was taken late 1969 and withdrawal in early 1971, there was two types of Bristol K's, Ipswich would of been allocated the Lowbridge type (LK) due to the low height of Ipswich depot, whilst others were as below LKH.
