Sedan Chairs, The Peak, 1938

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
1938

These sedan chairs appear to be exactly the same type shown in David's picture. I hope the passengers came up The Peak in the tram rather than being carried up from town. They are an Air France crew visiting after a flight from Hanoi.
