North Weald Rally

Well in terms of vistors and buses, it was a slight improvement on last year though this event is still struggling to shake its poor reputation.

For my part, I took something a little different this time around.

Although both Dart 317 and DAF 337 are available (302 has no MOT), I fancied a change; in any case we have two "low floor" Darts at Yeldham (my storage location) that were donated by First Essex for preservation and I felt it was time to get one of them to an event in Essex.

So I offered to take one and was given R721DJN, a Plaxton Pointer 2 bodied motor that's spent its entire 17 year service life at Hadleigh (Essex) depot.

Here we are parked up at North Weald:
