When I was quite young the F stock was still around with its oval
windows though by then it was on the East london Lines.
Then one day I saw a tube car in sidings at Acton that had similar
windows and I think it was in a sort of brown livery but could be
wrong on that.
Over the years I have looked to see what this may have been to no
avail then yesterday while looking for something else came across this
photo.

Looks very close to what I rember seeing and at least I now know I
wasn't imagining things
Anyone know the history of this unit?
The shape and door position suggest one of the pre stock builds of the
early 20's but were any built with oval cab windows or was this front
a bitza, possibly after collision damage and former F stock windows
have been grafted on in a one off repair.
