What vehicle is this?

Came across this photo in an old book on the ATA. Can someone identify the vehicle type please? I assume the colours are black and white? Anyone have a photo of the rear? I guess the van body is standard, with just the addition of an Anson turret. Should be a doable model project.

It Looks like a standard van looking at the grill on the front , Weather the vans had the same name as the cars I am not sure .
If they did then I think the mark would be a Standard Flying Nine built in Coventry .
Hope that this is some help .
Bomber .

My guess is a Standard too, but as the Flying Twelve was used as a Tilly, I'd suggest this was a Twelve, not a Nine.

I need to model one of those to go with my red and black towed runway control caravans now!

The Hudson turret was designed by Boulton-Paul, power operated and more bulbous. This looks to me more like the, I think, Armstong Whitworth designed pedal operated (like a bike)
That would make it light enough and simple enough to be vehicle mounted. They were also used on some power boats. The example on display at Newark Air Museum came from the roof of the Fields Aviation hangar at Tollerton. (since demolished)

Yes. It's an AW Turret, there is one in the RAF Museum at Hendon. I should think that, used as an ATC caravan vis approach it would be too hot in Summer which is why the lady is sitting outside.

When I was doing research into runway control caravans a while again, I found that only very rarely was anyone actually inside the caravan in photos, they were usually standing outside... I, too, suspected that it may have something to do with standing in a greenhouse for hours!

They'd need to take the Verey pistol(s) and spare flares plus the Aldis lamp outside too.
