Merci, JCB.

Well then, a few words about

directed by John Paddy Carstairs and written by Ted Lloyd.

Not very bright, not very smart, this comedy managed to raise a constant smile on my tired face. For its good natured humour is never vulgar, even when heavy-handedly characterizing French people.

Cunning Bob Monkhouse, nice Leslie Phillips, sweet Shirley Eaton, grumpy Irene Handl, suave Alfred Marks, they all hit a sans faute of its modest kind.

By the way, let me introduce Lulu:

the caravan/camper/trailer. But the real permanent feature and star of the film is the lovely Bedford.

And for sixyl and his gay IMPDb.org companions, let's go to the Lydd Ferryfield Airport…

I felt for the poor old Bedford, 42bhp dragging a total of about 2.5 tons, and far too much noseweight.

dsl wrote The other two are Bedford CA van - possibly some sort of airfield livery?? - and the estate could be Standard Vanguard, but not totally sure. Could be interesting to see them in comments at least.

Et voilà.

Standard Vanguard Phase 3. A bit fuzzy, but I think that the rear lights are as used after the "Vignale" facelift.
