As it's a Bank Holiday and it's my birthday, i thought i would share with you some Eastern Counties buses that escaped the scrap man albeit for a few years first up in a photo from the late Philip Back we see Bristol SC LC 547 VVF 547 with Palace Bingo of Gorleston, and originally bought by D. Campbell of Blundeston in October 1972 it passed to Palace Bingo the following year.

Bristol K, LKH 421 HPW 108 is now happily under going restoration, seen here shortly before collection from W.F Pointer And Sons in Norwich, who bought a few of these during the 1960's.

Originally new in 1944 with a Strachans Body, Bristol K LK 240 FAH 107 had its body replaced in 1953 with a new ECW body this passed to Jordans in 1967 before being used by Anglian Builders in 1968 for 6 years and stripped for spares by the Ipswich Transport Society before ending back at Jordans.
