Rather casual way to hold a pistol....I hope they don’t intend to shoot the car?

As it says, the photo was taken on Dartmoor, could the gun because of an escaped dangerous prisoner from the jail of the same name? Dartmoor was a High Security Jail at the time I think.
Just checked, it seems that two convicts escaped from Dartmoor on November 15th 1932, on a foggy night.

According to the database (which holds this pic with accompanying text from the Devon Police Archive), it’s F0385. Not currently known to the Register. Excellent pic!

Could the driver be the intrepid Motor tramp? I'll have to revisit my book...
