Thanks Sixmile. Police still looking into it. Funny old thing, although the owner/ manager of the company (one man band), is the only person who drives the van, he has no recollection of the incident. Apparently, the people who work for him, he meets in a pub at random, works with them for a couple of days, then never hears from them again! Convenient, and highly professional!!!
I can't believe he got legal advice and couldn't come up with something a bit better, still, it'll probably be enough for the CPS! However I don't think it'll help in respect of the insurance claim now being pursued on my behalf by the British Cycling solicitor!
