Sad to hear about Lewis i was a follower of the professionals when i was a wee lad

would have been built at Whitby Morrison, who are local to me, infact when I was a baby, we lived next door to the current ceo

I used to sneak off upstairs to watch that on my portable black and white whilst the folks watched the 9 o'clock news. Great programme. It's been re-run on ITV4 recently in the early evening, still a good watch.

On the subject of Ice Cream vans, there was one at Tatton Park back in June...



...and I have got a few in my model collection

Why does it have a hatch in the door?

Looks to be left hand drive, so I suspect it will be some sort of cooling outlet for the ice cream unit

On the Moorland & Coastal run a few years ago.
