The long haul (1957 film) / 1950s Leyland Octopus

I’ve got this copied but watched the last hour tonight, the film has been shown a few times lately, sometimes on Channel 81 too. I’ve read a more detailed article on the film in the Classic and Vintage mags and the author of that said there were two Leylands used, one later destroyed in a fire but the other carried on working for a company, I might still have the magazine. There are two different registrations shown in the pics above. They used stand ins a lot for the Highland scenes more noticeable where Joe Easy is in the river guiding the Leyland and plain to see it wasn’t Patrick Allen. I suppose for the time it was a dramatic and exciting film but a little unbelievable too but that’s showbiz! Franky.
