Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Trucks in the livery of British Road Services
Used in	Global usage de:Leyland Motors de:British Road Services de:Bristol HG en:National Freight Corporation fa:بریتیش لیلاند
Reason	These are rare preserved examples of 1949 and 1961 vintage trucks together, and both captured in the livery (colour schemes and markings) of BRS (British Road Services) the UK transport company formed by the nationalisation of Britain's road haulage industry after the Second World War. -- DeFacto (talk)
Review (criteria)	Question shouldn't the photo be geocoded?  Comment @J. Lunau: as the trucks could move to anywhere, it is a non-place-related shot. So I do not believe it needs geocoding. DeFacto (talk) 17:25, 20 September 2015 (UTC)  Comment I disagree - Geocoding an image is a way allowing a third part to authenticate the image. In this case, if the lorries were in a museum (they look like museum-pieces to me), then anybody can go to the museum and check the lorries for themselves. If, on the other hand, the lorries were in a lorry-park, then the inquirer knows not to expect to see them there. At the moment we do not know whether or not these were working examples when the photo was taken or whether they were museum exhibits. Martinvl (talk) 09:17, 21 September 2015 (UTC)  Comment@DeFacto I share Martinvls arguments. If you are right, only non moving buildings should be geocoded but it is usual for VI to geocode cars as well (can be seen here) --J. Lunau (talk) 13:10, 21 September 2015 (UTC)  Comment @J. Lunau and Martinvl: I've added the geocode location to the image file as requested and also added context to its description. DeFacto (talk) 18:02, 21 September 2015 (UTC)  Comment @DeFacto: Thank you, I've added German description as well. --J.
