Apparently last year a UK newspaper (poss the Telegraph) had an article about GPO vans in its glossy magazine.

So presumably this would be a Saturday or Sunday issue.

Has anyone got a copy or more details ?

Thanks. A friend of mine has probably one of the few and most original 1961 GPO telephone engineers mini vans but it would be interesting to see any published articles about them. Especially in colour.
