LONDON TRANSPORT RF395 Restoration

Possibly the worst condition RF you are ever likely to see restored, every known issue ever associated with an unrestored RF could be found here, in fact, the only redeeming feature of this bus was that it had survived its entire operational life as an original doorless type.

Although there is no conclusive record of a strike at Metro-Cammell during 1952 the "STRIKE 1952" and hammer-&-sickle graffiti we uncovered during the restoration does suggest a certain amount of employee discontent was detectable at the time this RF was being built.

Another interesting and unexpected find on this RF was a live (blank) .303 rifle bullet buried within the front bodywork.
