Judging by those photos, I think the Commer had a slightly boxier bonnet. Perhaps I should send them an email at Elvington Airfield to find out exactly what type they had there in 2018. To be continued...

@ Curtis, your memory serves you well: Wikipedia shows this 1953 Commer Q4 picture, made by the Dutch photographer Alf van Beem. The Elvington lorry identified.

Definitely not a military vehicle.
This 1937 De Soto S3 Convertible was the only car the writer and aviator Saint-Exupéry ever owned. Among the vehicles auctioned by Osenat as part of the Salon Époqu’Auto in Lyon, were models that had belonged to famous figures. The history of this white Desoto convertible. Looking back, the show in 2025.

When we lived in East Yorkshire the two places we often visited were Elvington and Eden Camp. It's now getting on for 20 years since we were last there and I wonder how much, if anything, has changed since then
