How to take good truck photographs...No# 3,139. This one's a (bottled) gas says Biglorryblog

I rather like this picture. Why? Because it shows that with the right frame of mind (and the right frame for the picture) you can turn a rather dull looking background into an interesting foreground and end up with a nice shot. Those red top cannisters set it all off rather nicely...too. So what's it all about Biglorryblog I hear you ask? Well the picture goes with the pres release that tells me that "....world-leading industrial gas supplier, Air Products, has just chosen Masternaut Three X to supply a ground-breaking web-based satellite tracking solution for their UK and Ireland cylinder gas business (Packaged Gases). Following a highly successful trial of the Masternaut real-time service, the company has rolled out the solution across their delivery fleet. Masternaut will enable Air Products to optimise its route planning, reduce its carbon footprint, and provide a highly secure, fully automatic seamless lone-worker safety system." Whatever that means...

So there...of course in my day this was the kind of truck that delivered for Air Products (one for Pete Lynch) which begs the question what's the one hiding behind the bottles above? And click through here for a slightly older Air Products truck too...

OK so what is it? (gas-filled pie for the winner)....

Vic Hungerford:

My guess is a Mandator; it's pretty hard to tell from that photo/drawing.

Top one looks like a Scania 4 series (not sure what models you have over there? 124?) and the AEC could be a Mercury TGM4?
Cheers
