Newcastle ? (BVK ???)

Subject: Newcastle C. T. ? (BVK 80x)
Chassis: AEC 664T
Body: English Electric H33/27D
Location: Wingrove Depot
Date: late-1930s

One of the batch of five English Electric-bodied AECs (BVK 801-805) is seen here in Wingrove Depot after accident damage. As can be seen in the background, this depot housed both trams and trolleybuses at this time.

One rather odd aspect of this photograph is that a bottle jack is visible under the front axle on the nearside but is not in contact with the axle, yet the nearside front wheel is off the ground!
