jcb ◊ 2022-11-21 02:37	That is odd as plate is lit . Surely they did not play with plates like farmers did (do?) with tractors😀 -- Last edit: 2022-11-21 02:37:39

If exceptionally it did have to venture onto the roads (maybe to Bedford or coachbuilders workshop for maintenance) they'd probably use trade plates.
