Grounded van bodies 4.

Here's a pair that I spotted near Walton Lees Farm, Hungerhill Lane, west of Chesterfield (SK325673);



I'm not going to attempt to identify these two! Although I imagine the rearmost shell was once plywood sided.

    I love to see old things like this, just gone feral...quietly and nobly returning to dust. It would be fascinating to know what the nearest one was, but it is too far gone, I guess. This is a great series you are running, I look forward to more when you find them.

    The lack of vent on the end of the nearest body is interesting, and perhaps a clue to identity. Assuming that the end hasn't been rebuilt during its new life. Its difficult to get detailed photos of grounded bodies as you can imagine!
    One of the reasons behind this series is to show how van bodies blend into their surroundings, something lost on a lot of modellers who just plonk a body in a corner. For example, looking at the first photo, both bodies appear to be sunk into the ground rather resting above it.
