I think the ambulance plane is a DH84 Dragon, not a DH89 Dragon Rapide. Built in Jan 43 and sold off in 1946 for £50....
Interesting to see above the No2 Mk 1/L ambulance body mounted on the back of a Bedford WL chassis cab- or even flatbed. The painted over headboard suggests an impressed vehicle. Very much a lash up reeking of panic, but there is a picture in the Beaulieu archives of a row of these so a batch must have been made.
