Hi I'm hoping the runners of the floor could be the old original ones? If it's a troop carrier, that means it would of been a tilt body (canvas)? I'm going to take the body of today, what's the cab like to take of? Once my workshops up I'm hoping to start properly on her, and how do people find out the history of these old ww2 vehichles can any one tell me why there's 2 petrol tanks? The 2 back wheels are sand tiers? Surely you wouldn't of drove them around in England? If it must of been a horrible drive :-\ If anyone could find the history out and what model would she is would be great I have the original number plates andthe little brass plate is still on the side of the chassis. Bill.

i ment cab sorry

if any one could help me with a few things? she has 2 petrol tanks either side? they look original and have all the army writing to go with it all? as far as we have looked there is no rot att all in the bab acept the window frames and the grill. its been in a barn for more than 15 years, its really original when it got bought out the army she just had a farm body chucked on (which is comming off tomorrow) and only worked twice a year and was barn stored for the rest. all in all its reallly original, weve had the engine turning but no dowt it will start. im an oficial Bedford Ql owner regards bill .

Hi guy, the Ql looks amazing! Bill.

There's a completely original Matilda (I think) on YouTube it's called 'max driving Aussie matilda' Bill.

People need to stop being negative! The extra fuel cost is a newsence I hope people dont stop going over it, (which some will) unfortunnately. I've seen the new website and facebook page and as I have never been to war&peace I'm really looking forward to going this year:) Some people say they don't won't civilian cars and vans mixed in with all the displays which I houndred % agree, it's nice to feel asif you have gone back in time thought I'd just say what I thought Bill.

How many ww2 leyland hippos are still about?

I mean when they go with all there tanks and jeeps and that, it would look and be so good,but as you said permission wouldn't be easy and It would be dangerous, ain't to safe out there at the moment! Haha

I've heard of people going to normandy and holand, for momorials, has any one ever gone to Africa with and the tanks and jeeps etc?

Thanks every one, ino what you mean all the timber I have fount is miles away and not worth it, and the order yards it's just to dear! Some will pop up soon

Thank you

Hi I've just seen on the news about the spitfires in Burma, why was they created up then buried surely you would of just chucked them in a hole if you were just getting rid if them? Can someone tell me about it all? Bill.
