Past Present and in Between in Pictures (Part 1)

Ray Smyth
A Bedford artic tanker from about 1949. I cant quite decide if the trailer is attached to
the Bedford with a 5th wheel coupling, or is it a Scammell-Hitch type coupling.
I found this picture on the Bootle History Forum.

I would think it would have been the Scammell Coupling back then, I could just make out the trailer guide wheels sitting on top of the ramps plus no landing legs on the trailer and the front end sits low into the Bedford chassis a 5th wheel would make it sit higher. Good photo though. Franky
