Subject: Portsmouth C. T. 4 (RV 4652) Chassis: AEC 661T Body: English Electric H26/24R Location: Preston, Dick, Kerr Works Date: 1934
The lower saloon looking rearwards. The well-padded seats are noticeable and the vehicle definitely has an air of civic pride.
Destination blinds are visible in both offside and nearside front windows. This arrangement was unique to Portsmouth's initial trial fleet, all later trolleybuses featured a larger display on the nearside only above the platform.
