I believe it is a ~ 1955 Dodge Power Wagon with Ponton style front conversion done for the operator BOAC by dark blue color. http://car-from-uk.com/ebay/carphotos/full/ebay720698.jpg |

KCP 951 was Halifax, Jan/Feb 1959. KCF 951 was West Suffolk, Jan 1957. |

the scene is about concerns of flight safety, with BOAC Boeing-377 Stratocruiser in background led me to the following tragic story happened Christmas 1954 http://www.ephemeraltreasures.net/prestwick-crash-1.html |

I’m intrigued by the circular things attached to the cab sides. Was it jet-propelled? (I think they are probably speaker horns or spotlights.) |

Yes, it is an airtug specified for the Stratocruiser, by strengthened front bumper and spotlights to find the hardpoints on the plane. |
