Mystery Mini derivative (60). Airplane Investigation edition

These photographs were made some time ago by Sarah Cecil, who wondered what this unusual Mini conversion was meant for. From what I understand this Mini Pick Up was made for use on British airports, possibly to move aeroplanes around. British Airways supposedly had five of them made, but I have never seen any other pictures of these vehicles. The registration data point out it was rather heavy at 945 kilos. Who knows more?

Ultra-wide pick-up bed was supposedly there for a reason: moving around airplanes

BYJ 559T is registered as a 1979 Austin Morris (?) weighing 945 kilos

Pick-up bed comes with no floors but with fork - to pull a plane?

And what are these large side compartments for? Storage?
