M & D was an early user of the first generation of rear-engined double-deckers with both lowheight and Highbridge MCW bodies on Leyland Atlantean chassis. But in 1963 the choice swung to Daimler who could not only provide a bus with the more frugal Gardner 6LX engine the comparable Fleetline chassis was far more suited to the provision of lowbridge bodywork and the company took no less than three batches of these attractive Northern Counties bodied buses including DL97 from the middle series of 1966 at Maidstone on the frequent Gillingham route. Sorry about the quality which is not bad at all for my kid's first Ilford Sporty Camera.
