The National story has been researched from every possible angle and whilst as much as anyone else I would have loved the outcome to be a positive one I'm afraid its sadly not to be. There is a dual door L reg National in store in a disused hanger but it’s WFM 823L ex Crosville stock and no relation to UCO54L. I can confirm amongst the last Plymouth Nationals were UCO 53L, UCO 60L, WDR 661M, WDR 673M, WDR 675M ALL gone by or before 2000. WDR 665M lost in around 2003 and WDR 666M disguised as CRU 146L as late as September 2010.

Such a shame there are no Plymouth Nationals left, what happened to the one in 2010, could that not of been saved?
