Subject: Portsmouth C. T. 8 (RV 4656) Chassis: Sunbeam MF2 Body: English Electric H26/24R Location: Preston, Dick, Kerr Works Date: 1934
This vehicle carries no legible identification, however details such as the slightly misaligned lower dash panel and the missing upper part of the windscreen make it more than likely that this in trolleybus 8. The material in the background is also in the same position.
Slightly surprising is that someone thought to change the route display between the two photographs. I therefore wonder whether this photograph was a subterfuge created to represent one of the two Leyland TBD2s with English Electric bodies which are unrepresented in this collection. Unfortunately it wouldn't stand close scrutiny as the Leylands differed as they had louvres in the lower dash panel.
