Agreed fascinating reading. In reference to the truck in the thumbnail alongside the Barber-Greene 44 C Ditcher, the front end and particularly the wheel do not look like a Bedford therefore I guess the main picture is also the same (non-Bedford) vehicle? It is used in the comments for the Bedford O-type (were I continue to agree with JFS's identification)! Although I'm not certain, the truck is possibly a Fordson 7V tipper I think seeing that front end and Ford like front wheel. Compare the views below. ![[Image: fordson7v.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/fordson7v.jpg) |

When watching the film it seems to be same truck in consecutive footage. If it's a Fordson 7V, these are the only non-Bedford sequences. |

It certainly not a Bedford and there are enough similarities in addition to the wheel design, for it to be a Fordson 7V. Points of recognition for the 7V 1) The door on the truck follows closely the front wing. 2) The front wing is the flatter 7V's. The Bedford is far more rounded in section. 3) The headlamp position (small wartime diameter) is consistent with a forward control type cab as a 7V. 4) The door's lower hinge is positioned as the Fordson 5) The roof in the main view looks flatter with almost square corners compared with the more rounded Bedford's roof. 6) There is no gap between the cab step and the door's bottom edge as the 7V. -- Last edit: 2019-06-13 19:56:13 |

That’s a 7V. The flat cab roof is, to me, a dead giveaway. |
