I think we can safely date this picture; All Field Force vehicles of the BEF Air Component and the Advanced Air Striking Force were to bear a 2 or 3 inch high 3 digit number preceded with an A for admin purposes as it was not permissible to mark vehicles with a sqn or unit marking for security purposes. The BEF Air Component embarked in late august /early sept 1939, so my conclusion is within that 4 week window. .
The trailer can be identified as a 3 ton Brockhouse by its torsion bar suspension, its RAF description is a Trailer 3 ton Photographic Type J.
