Mystery Man ◊ 2020-12-28 16:49	Indeed supposed to be New York City but I don't know where it was directly filmed

It also has windows in the body behind the doors, maybe a Utilecon conversion. All 68 of the images are called “Thames 10 cwt something” irrespective of country of origin of the film. Can’t we decide upon Thames 10cwt Utilecon, or whatever? It’s not as though we are underwriting a Covid vaccine after all.
