Image deterioration.

I've included this image despite deteriorating colour as I feel its a rare photograph. A number of East Kent AEC Regent V 2D3RA / Park Royal saw periods of use with Maidstone & District as driver trainers. Seen here at Ensign's yard in Purfleet in September 1982 are from left to right P.144 (YJG 811), P.6 (GJG 745D) and P.5 (YJG 814). All three were sold to Barlow & Young (Holliday Hall) contractor, London SW16 two months later and had their roofs removed for use on construction of the Epping Forest Tunnel on the M25 motorway. The trio then went to Carlton breakers for scrap in January 1984.
