Front not seen, will be moved to movie comments if nothing more can be found. Location south Wales mining village or town.
dsl ◊ 2015-10-01 15:03	Coal mine ambulance (which might require heavier duty oily bits than a road-only ambulance)?? Reminded me of this (though probably something different) - /vehicle_733724-Vauxhall-Big-Six-Ambulance-BXL-1934.html

In August 1941 the AFS Auxiliary Fire Service became the NFS National Fire Service. edit: The vehicle looks to have been in use with a town or county brigade but the lettering removed from the sides. Similar vehicle with side windows but likely earlier body. http://www.mcjazz.f2s.com/images/Streets/KingStFirebrig.jpg Source: http://www.mcjazz.f2s.com/FireBrigade.htm Morris Commercial C-type Limousine Appliance 1933-37 -- Last edit: 2015-10-01 21:29:20
