'Full planning permission has now been granted by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets for the Memorial to be built.
Now all we need to do is raise the money.'

THE RF STORY by Peter Osborn
"The RF was the standard single-decker in the London Transport fleet in the 1950s and 1960s, before replacement by modern, mostly rear-engined buses. The AEC design incorporated an engine under the floor, a pre-war idea that reached its peak in this fleet. The same design was used for coaches and buses, both red and green, with detailed differences."
