The same car is also idntified in other FLIGHT mags of the day at Wolverhampton.
So I'd hoped that it would be seen elsewhere towing the plane between events.
BUT no luck.
The badge on the front is bugging me
Sorry cant help on it ..... yet
Thanks for the prompt response and research effort.
I have been trying to pin the ID down by searching through various 1905-1910 UK & European vehicle images. The forward cab is quite distinctive with its high "waist line".
It seems to have some sort of utility type rear bodywork, and I suspect there will be a fair amount of brass in that vehicle once the ID is confirmed. It is probably going to turn out to be the product of some obscure (now) coach works.
Sadly my search and head scratching has yet to bear fruit.
I am also bugged by the badge, and it is difficult to determine if it is a "B" or an "8" or some sort of stylized hybrid letter/number.
