Can you tell me what I'm looking at..??

about the lorry I mean..

For some reason the young aircrew photographer included the drivers ..
Lorry is a Bedford QL, the Halifax is a Mk III, the three Canadian Halifax squadrons were 408, 419 and 420, all part of 6 Group, Bomber Command.
The brevet on the man on the right looks like an air gunner, sometimes they were also qualified as wireless operators.
