Something a little different a MK1 with a folding drilling rig

Ivor, attached is a photo of the Bedford QL dental unit and its trailer. These were issued during WW2 and it is quite possible due to the specialised nature of the vehicle that some were still in use PW. I have never seen a photo of a QL in PW use so a scan of your friends photo would help, i would imagne that they only survived into the late 40s maybe very early 50s, if i remember correctly i think the dental corps were issued in the 1950s with O type Bedfords with semi trailers identical to the National health mobile units unless we have other evidence which i would welcome cheers Les

who,s got the bloody wheels then

I reckon it belongs on the fairground

Morris CDSW early gun tractor of 97 field regt Kent Yeomanry in the Somme area 1940

Heres a idea we can all get involved in to find as many photos as possible of factory shots and tank production this batch as starters shows Crusaders, Crusader AA MK2,Centuar dozers and Matildas. I thought the carriers could be included here, not quite Herr Grubers little tank but a tracked armoured vehicle none the less

A few more Queen Marys in there working environment

2000 gall tanker hanging on a International M426 tractor unit

Mixed bag this time 969 at Beltring last year 2007, a ex french army 972 tipper and looks like a Rojers 40 ton engineering trailer and heavy haulage Aus style

Here are the photos of the Bishop D.T i promised a while ago, as can be see i had a limited access due to it being backed up a ramp in the yard the last photo if they come out in order shows her in the days of towing the mobile crushing plant cheers Les

Mike would that be a Ford WOT1 wartime 6x4 or the later Fordson Thames post war 6x4

I have no idea where this is or when but oh to find a catchment like this today, i am still amazed how few of these militants have been preserved considering how many were in service up to the 1980s i suppose the mech componants were high value and they were cut up for these parts

Pioneer pulling in a Matador in Italy 1944

As we all know many woman were recruited in WW2 as drivers for all types of vehicles and a good job they did, a early war photo showing the ladies with there vehicles, Morris Commercial CD6x4 30cwt and the more rare Morris CS11/30F ambulance

If thats the asking price for the Bedford war time book then whats the value of the Large size AEC contribution book. In my collection i have the Timkin Axle book with tinted colour photos and a hard back Metropoliton vickers contribution plus a H/B GM Holden war record and then of course the large Bridging to berlin book produced by the Royal Engineers and so on makes you wonder or is it speculation cheers Les

Here a couple in Korea could be part of a H.Q section

I can just see that multi wheeler tucked up behind a Matador prehaps with a greens road roller on all in RAF livery now that would light up a few eyes

Tony i tried eisenhower and got pics of him but only a handful of vehicle pics, i note that the maximum each search goes to is 200 hundred images surley there are more and if so how do you get to them for instance i cannot believe that only 200 truck images are on the site from 20.000.000 photos any help appreciated cheers Les

Thats the way to do it triple turret up front what a lovely way to win a war

All this talk of Stalwart diving lookee here the yanks had a go with a five tonner lots of bubbles and engine farts then its time to abandon truck

A very rare photo of a REO 6 ton 6x6

Helps to put the photo up

Another nice combination tanker photo Autocar U-4144T tractor unit

Two of the 200 gall water tanker

Not such good quality these but it shows the Hills 0843 from the other side and a bit better view of the Mountaineer
