Blue, I think you'll find.
It was sitting in Mike Stallwoods yard at RR Services when a TV company needed a blue ex-army truck for "The Darling Buds of May" TV series, so he pulled off the body, dropped on a cargo body, painted it blue ...
last time I heard the back body base and winch were still there.

Ah I remember the telivision series, They actually had two of them painted purple They are not identicle. A friend of mine in Devon UK has bought one of them and tells me if you studdy the filming you can pick out the differences....I'll take his word for it.

Really?
I never knew that.
Mine was the original with the PGC 123 registration, issued in London around 1950. It is easy enough to identify when you see the cab roof, as you can see the weld where the driver's periscope was welded up. Telephone trucks had this periscope in the cab roof so that the driver could operate the winch controls and watch what was happening in the back of the truck. Get him to check his cab roof maybe? I'm sure my truck is the one that was in storage at Hop Farm. Gordon

I think the other one was in a museum near Maidstone, Museum of Rural Life or something similar. They used to advertise it as an attraction.

Yes Richard you are right! I have just spoken to my Friend Paul. It was commissioned by the Kent Country Life Museum as they were unable to procure the original?? It was prepared by Mike Stallwood. It was made available as a standby for the original truck during the later series of filming Darling Buds, but never actually used. It remained at the museum as an outside exhibit for years and used as a trampoline by kids. It was in a sad and sorry state when Paul bought it. The whole truth was not told to him at the time he purchased it. Yes Gordon...yours is THE one
