Fordson Emergency Food Van Restoration

The restoration of the Fordson Emergency Food Van, sponsored by the Friends of CWM, is complete. The vehicle is on display in the LeBreton Gallery.

The War Museum's example features the fender style of the original model and also has window winders which were later eliminated. The number plate, JNO 421, suggests that it was registered in Essex in 1941. But why is it unique? A plaque affixed to the side states, "F.E.V. No 1. This van was inspected at the Mansion House, London, by Their Majesties the King and Queen, Sept. 16th, 1941"
