Bedford chassis? (I think it has a Bedford Drivers Club badge) ABC Television Outside Broadcast Van edit: Possibly Bedford VAS? ABC Television 1955-1968 was part of Associated British Picture Corporation (ABPC) and had no connection with ABC (Associated Broadcasting Company) which became ATV. -- Last edit: 2009-08-04 10:03:05 |

Looks the same but still not identified...![[Image: assredob2.6493.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is861/assredob2.6493.jpg) ![[Image: i242115adj.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/i242115adj.jpg) ![[Image: 30208813adj.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/30208813adj.jpg) Associated Rediffusion's first "Remote Telecast Unit", or OB truck as they are now known. images date from 1955, http://www.meldrum.co.uk/mhp/knackers/behind.html If not a Bedford its possible its another Morris-Commercial FE based OB van. -- Last edit: 2012-08-29 14:44:41 |

Dinky did several models of both ABC and BBC outside broadcast unit trucks in late 1950s which may give some leads. |

Yes I remember them and researched the Dinky toys some time ago.![[Image: 3001p.4294.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is834/3001p.4294.jpg) edit: source website will not be permanent http://www.tooveys.com/lots.asp?WEBLOTID=188516&LOTID=3001 Some claim them to be Commer/Karrier (Roving Eye), Bedford (Mobile Control Room) and Bedford S/RL (Extending Mast), but the Mobile Control Room could be the Morris-Commercial FE (by PYE of Cambridge). -- Last edit: 2011-12-12 20:05:00 |

Interesting page about the BBC Bedford/Dinky model here. Doesn't affect the ID here, but good info/pics for reference. |
