When CD was reformed in 48/9 MAFF set up new Food Flying Squads, They started to receive their new vehicles in Aug 1951. Based on the later K2 were Canteen vans as described which facilitated the serving of hot beverages and light refreshments, Catering Stores vans that carried equipment to set up emergency kitchens and 200gal drinking water tankers. Painted Light French Blue to BS 175. In 1953 the MAFF markings were removed and CD badges applied. .

Stampman Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hi Mike I don't know when it was sold or the last date of tax. It was first taxed 20 August 1953 & issued to Lancashire Fire Brigade AFS at station number D 60 Stratford, Park Road. Sorry I cannot help with any more information.
