    is the headlamp covered for blackout or because it was probably broken?

    My first thought re the ID of that truck is Commer but, if so, it's certainly one I haven't seen before (similar to some 1950s models but looks "odd").

    Hi Andy,
    I have just seen on t.v. ( Foyles War) a Humber 4 X 4 staff car, very similar to the one I was allocated for escort duties whilst in the BTA.
    Mr driver was quite a character, Ernst Trixell, a local sking champion.
    Other vehicles I was priviledged to drive about in were a Captured VW,
    a Captured BMW type 375, a Ford 4 X 4 staff car Humber Pulman staff car,
    together with quite an assortment of PSV's Autin, Ford, Hillman.
    The period was 1950 - 53.
    If you have any pictures of these types I would be grateful
    Cheers
    Keith
