#TBT DVF108C

Another LFS from the Eastern Counties fleet forms this week's Throw Back Thursday' with the subject being DVF108C

Eastern Counties LFS 108 DVF108C on North Drive in 1981 - note the cars at the time
Firstly, apologies for the picture quality but I thought it was unusual in that it features an Eastern Counties decker working north along North Drive. With the appearance of a passenger on the top deck I assume it must be in service although the blinds are blank (probably not been fitted with Great Yarmouth ones)

Eastern Coach Works bodied Bristol Lodekka DVF108C was new to Eastern Counties in May 1965. It spent much of its time in Norwich being recorded there in June 1969 and October 1975. It was withdrawn from service in November 1981 and, like many of the LFS fleet, was sent to Ben Jordan of Coltishall for scrapping, although its final resting place was at Carlton breaker PVS
