Midland "Red" bus No. 2107 @ Moreton-in-Marsh - Aug 1951

            An old amateur photograph (just 2" x 2") from an enthusiasts old tram/bus photo and postcard album, the latest pictures dating to c1950. This one was taken by 'JRM - Rex' and is of Midland Red bus No. 2107, registration DHA725, at Moreton-in-Marsh terminus.

I assume that the photo album belonged to a young person because at the front is a list of initials indicating the photographers. CC - C. Carter, HOD - Haynes of Dulwich (W. J. Haynes), JRM - Rex, WRGA - Robin Anderson of South Birmingham, MM - Mummy, JKM - Daddy, CJDM -  Me, LOS - Lens of Sutton.

The description written next to the photo is "BMMO No 2107 at Moreton-in-the-Marsh terminus 19 Aug 1951".

DHA725 was built by the 'Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co.' (BMMO) in 1938 comprising a English Electric body seating 38 (B38F), and a BMMO 'Saloon Onward' chassis. It underwent an ambulance bus conversion in 1939, returned to a bus in 1940 (still B38F seating), and was withdrawn from service in 1956. I have no location/date for its further use or scrappage.

If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks.
