Meant to represent the journey by a COI library staff member taking a film and portable projector from London HQ to a school "on a small island". Footage involves at least 3 different E83Ws during the journey

(pale van on the shore of Tal-y-llyn Lake in mid-Wales - not identified by film but a view I know very well from childhood)

.. where COI bloke boards a little boat, carrying the portable projector and the film reel. BM boat registration is Brixham in Devon which is as far as I know completely deprived of nearby small islands and travel via Tal-y-llyn would be an unbelievably huge detour. Interesting box on the rear door. GYL 612 = March 1945 to March 1947 "allocated in blocks" so 1946 should be safe.
