Thought there would have been some safety feature, seen one or two close calls working under tippers with raised bodies.

One has to laugh at this apparently the picture was taken in Portsmouth borrowed from Gary Burtons FB, Buzzer.

This Austin LD 1ton van, Reg.No. BEK 878, would have been new to Brian Nichols (Shopfitters)
about 1955. It was probably bought from H.H.Timberlake, the Main Dealer for Austin cars and
vans in Wigan. Picture is courtesy of Trucknet member "xkopite/Dave. Regards, Ray Smyth.
