![]() Only given a page because ILFORD livery (were they something photographic) might lead to an ID?? |

They were very much, quite a few Ilford Sportsman cameras for sale on e-bay. Commer?? |

Ilford Films are still in production and their black and white film in demand for niche markets. I have a roll in my fridge at the moment. https://www.flickr.com/photos/vivianeli/sets/72157651993763315/ Commer QX is possible, I cannot at the moment think of an alternative in 1951. However the proportions look strange to me, the cab glass looks too large, so cannot rule out something I've missed. ![]() -- Last edit: 2015-09-15 12:21:31 |

Same here! Unfortunately, my fridge died two years ago. -- Last edit: 2015-09-15 13:21:36 |

1948 Morris-Commercial FV also appears to be a candidate by the cab proportions, but proof is almost impossible here. http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p164015508/h1b8db256#h1b8db256 So did you scrap your fridge with the film inside, or did you keep the fridge for sentimental reasons? |

I kept it for prctical reasons (namely: shelves). Besides, all my Olympus are dead now, so the Ilford roll is piously kept on the base of some religious sentiment. Or lazyness? |

For the same reasons I keep a dead Voigtländer. |

Continuing the search, after ruling out a Morris-Commercial FV, the Karrier CK3 is very close in general appearance (and has a connection with the possible Commer identification). Although mostly used for municipal vehicles plus fleets like GPO telephones their use by Ilford Films is less likely perhaps. ![]() Only a possibly therefore it remains 'unknown'. |
