The photo reverse is stamped with the photographer (and/or negative owner) name Peter J. Relf.

No. 39 was new to PCT in Aug 1936 comprising an AEC 661T chassis No. 096 with a Craven body seating 52 (H26/26R). In 1938 it was renumbered as 239 and in 1950 its body was rebuilt by PCT, keeping the same seating numbers. It was withdrawn from service in 1960, the parts of the Portsmouth trolleybus system that had not already been withdrawn or transferred to bus operation closing in Jul 1963.

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