The photograph above was provided by Phil Wilson, who believes that it
probably dates from the mid-1930s. Phil's grandfather 2nd from

1930s
"I've seen this photograph before. My
father (William Graham) had the same picture, taken at the SMT garage at
New Street in the 1930s.
My father is in the front row centre. He
worked there in the 1930s along with two of my uncles, my mother's
brothers, (Andrew & Jim Young) who are also probably in the photo
(probably near my father).
I also had an uncle (Bob Stewart) who was a
driver for SMT. (Mother's sister's husband)."

"I, too, have a copy of this picture. My
mechanic father, John (Jock) Goodall, is sixth from the left in the
second-back row;. He went on to become Deputy Chief Engineer at the
SMT and Scottish Omnibuses, as it later became."
Bill Airs
"Elsewhere in the shot, though I can't
remember precisely where, is Bill Airs, father of Gordon Airs, who was for
many years Chief Reporter at the Daily Record.
Gordon and I began our journalistic careers
together, with the old Edinburgh Evening Dispatch, later subsumed by the
Evening News."
