Pretty sure its a Thornycroft.

I think you may be right Les, just been looking at the badge on another Thorny and looks same. cheers
Yes, it’s a Thornycroft, model Sturdy 5 tonner I think, looks like a wartime model as it has the tiny headlights and mesh grille with painted surround. For comparison, the Wethered motor is post-war, big lights, slatted grille with chrome surround.
