Found your website purely by accident and was amazed to find that you had a Brock’s Fireworks promotional Bullnose Van. Interestingly because my Father (now sadly deceased) was the last pyrotechnist to carry the Brock’s surname being a director for Brock’s Fireworks. Running the business in Swaffham, Norfolk when it first expanded from its main site in Hemel Hemstead in the late 50s before moving the head office to Sanquhar, Scotland

Brock’s Crystal Palace Fireworks was one of the first companies to be registered in England and adopted the (original) Crystal Palace logo following the great exhibition where Brocks preformed all of the demonstration displays. 

Brock’s  has always been synonymous with major displays marking special events all over the world although it also supplied the traditional Guy Fawkes market in November competing with the better known Standard Fireworks for this market. Brock’s diversified in to military training equipment, and the business was eventually sold to form Standard Brock’s Pyrotechnic Group (owned by an Insurance Company) before being sold again in recent years to Blackcat. The Brock’s name still continues. 

… had to therefore have one of your diecast vans!!
