dsl ◊ 2015-09-20 14:23	Bedford?? Compressor truck?? PO Telephones livery??
Lateef ◊ 2015-09-20 14:36	I may be wrong, but to me it looks like a German Ford FK 2500 / 3500 (1956-61)
Sunbar ◊ 2015-09-20 14:48	Ford K-Series /vehicle_687198-Ford-K-Series.html
Lateef ◊ 2015-09-20 14:55	I think change to Ford K-Series occured in 1965 ... so it could also be a 1962-65 Thames Trader 640E.
dsl ◊ 2015-09-21 04:28	I'd guess the footage is early 70s from the Volvo (and the 69+ Renault 8 S is part of it as well) so Ford K-Series is well possible. As for the livery, would British Rail fit?? Found this "Thames Trader 4D Mobile Compressor" with 43 ELX plate - mid-62 "allocated in blocks" . Another photo of 43 ELX when it had black wings.

As you have found what appears to be the same compressor truck on the earlier Thames Trader chassis (and probably part of a larger fleet of vehicles either BR or Post Office Telephones again a possibility in yellow livery), without a front view calling it Thames Trader would be preferred. Thames Trader normal control introduced February 1962. If it has single rear wheels (as seen on 43 ELX) then its a 1½-ton chassis with 11ft wheelbase.
Sunbar ◊ 2015-09-21 19:03	Found another Thames Trader compressor truck. Possibly Murphy (J Murphy & Sons, roads and pipeline infrastructure), not Geo.Wimpy in this case. Registration 343FLM?, without the black front wheel-arches but possibly the same white letters over the rear wheel-arch. Murphy on-site equipment appears to be yellow and transport trucks or van dark green.
