This was another Chris which was taken at the same time by Adrian Cypher when it was brand new in 1973.
Thanks Paul, that explains the background. I didn’t realise these were Adrian’s photos - there’s no Austin bonnet badge peeping into the bottom of the photo!

Remember W. Jones coming up to Oldham every week in the late 1970’s with loads of new furniture from various Remploy factories in South Wales then loading back with multi-drop furniture for customers in South Wales.
All the Jones drives used to park up overnight on the old lorry park in Oldham which was behind Granelli’s cafe on Manchester Street after they had loaded up at Remploy’s Borough Mill on Neild Street Oldham below…

Or was it Swift for service Dean?
DEAN we had several globe trotters with the kitchen packs in but they had spirit stoves and that could be dangerous so we replaced ours with two ring gas burners from a caravan store and fitted the bottle out side the cab on the chassis in a little lockable alloy box we had made & the water tank was in one of the side cabinets of the cab. We bought some from Dawsons who supplied Globies to ACH and there govener had them removed for some reason and we retro fitted them, another MH moment Buzzer.
