Louis Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 BEF men disembarking at southampton, picture dated 19/6/1940. So some vehicles did make it home from france, even though it may have been only four days earlier they were shipped out. [ATTACH=CONFIG]87339[/ATTACH] That must be one of the trucks from post 124 John.....;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Mine also has a z number from vehicles wich are produced later . same as with my 1940 chevrolet the Z number on it doesn`t match the chassis number, but is still a number allocated to that Chevrolet batch . They were just parked in line and somebody put the registration numbers on , they didn`t bother about chassis number , chassis number was only for ordering parts. I have an enlarged picture from that vehicle , and ju just can see that the step bracket is the other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampant rivet Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Interesting pic Nick taken around the same time as the one shown in the Kaleidoscope of Bedford military vehicles by Bart H Vanderveen page 29 it looks to be taken in the winter of late 39 early 1940 RR.

landrover nick Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I have seen this photo several times on the internet i think the vehicle in the foreground with the spare wheel mounted on the tail board is MWR but the photo has either been reversed when printed or it is some other type of 15 cwt truck as the spare wheel is on the wrong side and the chore horse box is missing is there anything on the QL which is the wrong way round Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy66 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Petrol tank is also on the wrong side, normally you need to see the spare tyre on this side of a QL .Picture must be reversed ? Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Petrol tank is also on the wrong side, normally you need to see the spare tyre on this side of a QL .Picture must be reversed ?

chrisgrove Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Indeed Richard , it looks like a WOT 6 . :-X Yes, but the spare wheel should still show if the print is the right way round! Chris:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean N Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I have seen this photo several times on the internet i think the vehicle in the foreground with the spare wheel mounted on the tail board is MWR but the photo has either been reversed when printed... Nick Lettering on the ship and the library number on the photo are both the wrong way round, which is a bit of a giveaway. Hans' version looks a lot better - now all you have to do is get the IWM to reverse their watermark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
