Bogged down at Newquay

Thank you to Edward Thomson, Glamis Castle, Angus, Scotland for sending the photograph above. 

Ed writes:

"One of the TA Captains (a bank manager!) tried to take a drive with the truck on the Beach at Newquay in 1951.

He didn't get very far.  It took eight men and a caterpillar tractor to get it out before the tide turned,"
