Default Weems, Wellingtons and a Matador

Seeing Dan's JLC reminded me the Powell and Pressburger film "One of our aircraft is missing!"...



Why? Because in the scene from which the photo shown below is taken, the crew are just about to board Wellington "B for Bertie" and there is a full screen shot of a Weems...



It's funny how things jog your memory. It looks like I'm about to start a military vehicle collection with an ex-RAF 1939 AEC Matador. I remember seeing an old black and white film about a group of British soldiers trying to escape to Dunkirk (I think) in a Matador (I think). I particularly recall one scene where they sweep into the driveway of a house, (possibly looking for food?), only to be met by gunfire so they keep going, commenting that they must have been shot at by Fifth Columnists. Stanley Baker might have been in the film. Anyone know what it was?

Regards

Jon'.
