"Yankee Joe" truck

[Ron Pier]

Yes Richard you are right! I have just spoken to my Friend Paul. It was commissioned by the Kent Country Life Museum as they were unable to procure the original?? It was prepared by Mike Stallwood. It was made available as a standby for the original truck during the later series of filming Darling Buds, but never actually used. It remained at the museum as an outside exhibit for years and used as a trampoline by kids. It was in a sad and sorry state when Paul bought it. The whole truth was not told to him at the time he purchased it. Yes Gordon...yours is THE one Ron

Ron,
I think "THE" one, was at one time, residing at The Hop Farm, Beltring, but not seen it for a few years.
