At 4 mins 24 secs approx on" London 1930s in Color " there is a very clear shot of a very nice 1930/31 AA van . This was built on a commercial cowl same as mailtruck/schoolbus . It seems to be a parade of some sorts .Very interesting WW2 on the horizon but they did not know ,all long gone now .

Here is the screen grab of that truck:

Looks like it could be a Ford 1-Ton Van:

Thank you Brad it is the "One Ton Van" . The regular van had a taller body with a small parcel space over the cab .I have a picture in the March 1931 brochure . The "Tonner" came out in 1932 until into 1936 factory fitted with the model "B" engine with an oil pan with no shroud to suit the A flywheel housing .

John in sunny morning Suffolk County England .
