Physical description

Black and white photographs, of 15 men around a SW6 fitted with dash canopy lighting.



In an e-mail from Mal Rowe dated 2/9/2019, he advises

"If it is Essendon (and that looks right) especially noting that 454 (in the background) was allocated to Essendon at that time, so Essendon is pretty certain.



The tram is most likely 927 - the only dash canopy SW6 with a number including 2 allocated to Essendon in the period.



Geoff Warburton's tables say the three holes were cut in 927's dash in Nov 1951 and the it was converted to headlights in December 1951!



As you say, looks like MMTB staff - in the pit in their suits!



It's a long shot, but is the guy with his hand on the bumper on the opposite side to the number possibly Frank Kirby?"
