Thanks to John Harrington for sending me this link (and some other nice pictures). It is a rare colour view of Aldenham-based Bedford Fire Engine 1012B, taken from a 1965 movie called The Early Bird. No other details but 1012B was sold in 1964.

Norman Pitkin (and Mr Grimsdale) were involved in the film 'The Early Bird' where Norman was a milkman trying to save Grimsdale's dairy from being taken over by a larger firm. The film was on the TV recently as part of the Norman Wisdom season

Ah, I remember it vaguely. Was there a level crossing incident? In my memory it was black and white...
