1945–1949 Humber Hawk Mk I or Mk II
The Hawk was the first Humber car to be launched after World War II, but was not really a new vehicle, being heavily based on the designs of the pre-war six cylinder 1936-37 Hillman 16 & Hillman Hawk & the four cylinder Hillman 14 (1938-1940). It replaced the six-cylinder Humber 16 (1938–44) which itself was a rebadged version of the Hillman 16 (1936–37).
The engine dated back to the early 1930s, when it was first used in the Hillman 12 and was a 1944 cc, side-valve, four-cylinder unit and it drove a live rear axle through a four-speed gearbox with centrally located floor change.
The four-door body was mounted on a separate chassis and was of the six-light design (three windows on each side) with a sunshine roof as standard. Suspension was independent at the front using a transverse leaf spring, and at the rear the axle had half-elliptic springs.
The Mark II version of September 1947 was not even a facelift, the main difference being a column gear change with a control ring fitted to the gearbox making it impossible to crash the syncromesh gears. The engine was given a new water jacket, the petrol tank received a breather to prevent air-locks and provision was made for a car-radio and retracting aerial. There was no change to the car's external appearance. |

Presumably, these cranes are involved in the construction of the Hydro-Electric Dam seen in image SAR016717 |

If the date is correct then this must be a panic job. the roof is a mess, the tarpaulin pulled back reveals a dormer, either partly built or possibly collapsed. the hole to the right could have been where a chimney was removed, or collapsed. The double-stacked wooden trestles in lieu of scaffolding looks decidedly dodgy. The roof around the tall chimney is missing rather a lot of its tiles.
The workmen are very sensibly on the ground, possibly waiting for a Christmas drink or two. |
