Ted,
Thanks for the story. Seems in your search for wartime vehicles you "discovered" the yard was your converting "top secret" gun tractors. All that while your pregnant wife was waiting outside, some cover you had there Mr. Bond
I used to live in Larnaca as a small boy, military vehicles were all over the place, patrolling and convoying Greeks through Turkish towns or the other way around. Wartime vehicles I remember were a GMC truck set up as some sort of drilling rig, plus of course the Willys jeep which was standing derelict in the street where one of my friends lived! Man, the hours we spent behind the wheel "driving" that Jeep.
If you come across any more pictures of those GG Bedford gun tractors, please post them here.
Thanks!
Hanno
