The 3 wheel Aveling Barford Dumper is type AN/AP produced shortly after and possibly during WW2.
there are more pictures on Facebook page "Aveling Barford Machines"
All the older site dumpers are there too in the Barfords of Belton" album.
I am still searching for brochures on the post 1978 ones.prefix SD

When you watch these old 60s construction films , lot of the guys have not even got boots , normal shoes and they are not kids either .
Money was tight back then I guess.
