Is it me or is the truck with the St Georges Flag on the Back , (from your photo Reg. CUN 89. ) the same truck on Parade duty that I posted on 11.01.2012
Same truck same flag ■■? Similar photos meeting 50 or 60 years later The internet is truely remarkable
I’m wondering if the parade was for the Queen Coronation ? ( 2nd June 1953)

All the best DG
