more like WW2 itself as that is a 1939 Ford station wagon in the background along with the British style trucks.

Um....Tony...there is only one photo in this thread...so which one were you looking at to see a cab 11/12 blitz? All I see are Morris Commercials and a 1939 Ford Station Wagon...Oh and lots of sand of course

Mind you MC's would look like an 11/12 Blitz if you had had a beer or two and not bothered to put your glasses on either.

On a more serious note I enlarged the photo but could not bring up a clear view but to me as I say the trucks all look like MC's or similar of British make except for the Ford Station Wagon so I put this at late 1939/40.

Default Conviction

Yes I must admit I had had 2 beers after a big day and hadnt eaten dinner when I was looking. But I'll stick to my guns and say thats an Cab 11/12 in the middle.

To the left and slightly above the station wagon.

If you can Cliff, enlarge the photo & post it. I'm now very keen to find out one way or the other.
