Another snap of one of the 25 pounders hitched and ready for deployment to ranges.

Australia 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").
United Kingdom 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
