I've been checking on the net... & have found a (GB) baggage carrier .. by Lansing Bagnall (TO-ER tug)
It's not the same version ...but could be an earlier model.?
For now...I will put it as a Lansing bagnall ...unless someone says differently.! ;)

I found another picture of a newer model (TO-ER 10) so there were at least ten versions.!

isnt it quite usual for britain? i was wondering, when i saw on the london heathrow-airport (at least at all british airports), that all vehicles there, even the luggage-ground conveyors and their trailers, also the trailers with the stairways, does have license-plates. :??:

somewhere else its unusual. so in germany all vehicles, which will never leave the (private) airport-area, dont have plates, or they have internal company-plates. it is the same at big industrial areas. the internal vehicles have internal plates. if you own a big private propery, a big farm-area or so, a car-registration is not required in germany for vehicles, which will not use public ground.

I guess with Heathrow the public roads within the airport terminals are all public highways so its easier than keeping vehicles restricted to the BAA (British Airports Authority) owned routes.

In some cases, not necessarily airports or railway stations, I know that as an alternative, when vehicles are used rarely on public roads, some companies use 'trade-plates' which can temporarily be transferred between vehicles. But their use is very restricted by law.

In the case of railway stations and airports the companies must be taking the view that they will be needed to be used on public roads, if only rarely, in the normal course of their working practices. There must be also some allowance that not all vehicles will meet construction and use regulations as here in the railway tug, but they still can be registered for road use, some fork lift trucks are the same. If, on the task to be performed, the special purpose vehicle will travel more than 1000 yards then it must comply with Construction and Use Regulations or have type approval.

There is also the definition of public roads. It is not necessarily one where the roads are maintained by a public authority but any road that normally is accessible by the public qualifies and its often left to the courts to decide in any dispute.

Reading more about the definition (or lack of definition) of 'public roads' in the UK, it seems likely that the inner airport-side roads could also be defined as 'public'.

They are commonly used on a daily basis by outside companies and contractor vehicles. There are different companies actually resident on the airport site. It is also true that restricting access by using signs 'Private Land' and other access restricted signs has little value in law if it is commonly used by other companies even with permission. Therefore its likely that vehicles have to be registered and insured.

ah, interesting. it seems, that the british law is contrary to the german one. if you have a crash on private ground with a non registrated car, here its a problem between the owner of the area and the contrahent. the laws "straßenverkehrsordnung" (about traffic-rules) and the "straßenverkehrszulassungsordnung" (about the registration of motor-vehicles) is not valid on private ground.

VXR 219 is registered by the DVLA as a 1958 Scott electric vehicle... Could it be the same one as identified as a Lansing Bagnall ?

A 1958 Scott electric tractor was already listed here > /vehicle_1403040-Scott-30-cwt-1958.html
As VXR 219 is registered on DVLA under this brand, could it be the same as this one (with a reinforced front panel) ?

^1958 Scott 30-cwt Electric Tractor with the front guard panelled over, the shape is quite distinctive once it was found registered as a Scott. Perhaps the open ladder section was a problem catching on any objects on the platform
