3. UU6646 ... In the discussion on my photo of T1 at Hornchurch Garage Peter Stobart commented that it should have been the original LGOC T1. I cannot manage a photo of that, but as a next best thing, here is one of the same batch, T31 UU6646, at Chiswick in March or April 1956. Most of these buses were withdrawn by 1949, although a few (most of which had been refurbished) survived until 1953 on a route at Walton-on-Thames where a weight restriction precluded use of anything else. (March/April 1956, London Chiswick)

Presence of wartime white paint on wings and masked headlights also confirms that photo taken during the war. (1942, Warrior Square, Southend)
