More pies, what was the make and model of this artic--and if you're really clever, what's the aircraft on the back? And that trailer too if you're really clever!

And what's this one?

How about this truck with the ultimate 'traffic calmer' for the M25 on the back. But what's the truck and what's the name of the famous missile which was the mainstay of the RAF's Cold War Nuclear strike force?
