I'd agree, Blackpool Rock, Brighton Ice Cream or Skegness Fish and Chips.

selling snow cones

Only in the winter, which is 9-10 months long sometimes...

In the years after WW2 one or two of the U.K. caravan manufacturers did use some parts that were salvaged from aircraft such as wheels, for example. I believe these would have been fighter landing wheels for the caravan's road wheels and possibly the tail wheel as the jockey wheel. Quite possibly other materials salvaged from aircraft found their way onto caravans with aluminium sheet being an obvious possibility.

The light pale green paint that the very first Land Rovers were painted in, shortly after the end of WW2, is said to be surplus paint that had been intended to paint the inside of British WW2 aircraft.

Jim, a bloke I knew many years ago had previously worked in the Yukon. He told me the Yukon has four seasons - early Winter, Winter, late Winter and next Winter.

Jerry,
Welcome to the forum. If you are honestly trying to establish what you have there, and you don't intend to give out a prize for the correct answer, may I suggest you look for that tale tale Military ID plate hidden somewhere under that paintwork, if indeed it is Military Surplus.

With the slant at the front, it looks like a DROPS unit of sorts that went onto a six wheel body IMHO
