Nottingham Traffic Wing's Ford Transit recovery vehicle, affectionally known as "The Tonka-Toy" , in the Gatehouse Yard at Peachy Street loaded with one of the Motorcycle Section's BMW machines. The Tonka was primarily used for recovering vehicles for evidence and forensic work although, as seen here, it could be used as recovery for the Department's motorcycles when their riders were otherwise able to move them.
