Western National bus No. 936 @ Falmouth depot - Aug 1951

An 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 Western National bus No. 936, registration KUO949, outside Falmouth bus depot.

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 "Western National No 936 outside Falmouth depot Aug 1951".

KUO949 comprised a Eastern Coach Works body seating 55 (L27/28R), and a Bristol K5G chassis, going into service in Dec 1949. It was withdrawn from service in 1967 and sold to a dealer, I assume it was then scrapped, although it may have been sold on.


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