Wow - great thread, lads! I'm currently converting a broken E83W van into a mobile canteen to make a working Ford Emergency Food Van. I have good photo references for the exterior of the van and the interior of the cab, but nothing much for the inside.

Thanks for sharing so many wonderful photos - I've joined the forum so I can say 'thank you' to you all!

Seems to be a long time ago since we were last here, a nice idyllic scene with a Ford canteen and one for the carrier boys the Loyd with the tilt erected

Are we running out of steam on some of the threads guys this one was last used in July last year so heres a revival. first photo of a i think 37 or 38 Ford car coverted to a canteen, the old tin chapel stood little chance from the bomb blast

the second shows another of the Ford 83w emergency canteens doing the job it was built for
cheers
Les

I fully intend todo the pictorial piece on the Church Army ones in VINTAGE ROADSCEMNE as the CA sent me several photos to use. Incidentally, don't forget that I am running the CMP story or a very abridged version in the magazine!
