Scania WrL Three mills studios London

11th May 2013 Bromley by Bow London E3. Despite the postcode this is in Newham borough, not Tower Hamlets as it is on the east side of the River Lea. The film studios (where the Olympic opening ceremony was put together)are of considerable historical importance. The area was famous gin distillery until WW2 and then later a bottling plant. There is talk of conversion to a heritage use as it sits near other historic buildings.

Can anybody identify this machine with its unusual orange stripe at top of lockers. May belong to a company that supports filming. I could only take it from a distance due to security.

I have discovered that this is a unique appliance. It was built as a one-off demonstrator by TruckEast, a truck dealer, and was then used in a SkyTV series the Smoke. The registration is KX61CFA and the story of its manufacture is on the internet.
