Hi Boys,

Here's a new one....A late Bedford MW watching German prisoners walking by...

Properbly somewhere around Lommel..(53rd Div.)

Love to see new photees here lads....

Cheers,

Louis

Hiya,

Your Bofors is a Navy one....so i would make it navy grey.....

Did restore a Bofors excatly like yours when i was 21 and we did put it in a permanent display as a deck gun on a destroir in a musuem.

And yours stil have the nice railings behind it and the strorage bins....those are rare...

Keep on posting photos for us....

Cheers,

Louis

Hiya,

Nice welding you do there boy's....

What type of welding do you use if i may ask...??

Cheers,

Louis

Hi John,

If they did make 1000 a week then 2000 is 2 weeks work...

I think 1000 a month is more acurat.

That would make it august then......;-)

Hi John,

I think my wee girl was already doing survice when the bombing have been taken place....

What is your new book called...??

Cheers,

Louis

Hi John,

If you look on the map of France then Cherbourgh is the closest harbour.

And as we know the Germans came from the North/East wich did cut of other harbours.

So i would say its Cherbourgh.

Cheers,

Louis

Thats why i did recognize them....:rotfl:

Hay Boy's,

Here's a photo of the lucky once's who got out of Dunkirk safely...

Maybe its one of yours......:cool2:

This photo is made in June on the quay side in Cherbourgh.

Cheers,

Louis

Not sure what this is water pump MWC ?

Hi Jeremy,

It looks like to me that it should be fitted on the gear box.

So who knows maybe a later waterpump...??

Cheers,

Louis

Hi Davey,

Welcome to the Bedford MW Owners Club....:0)

Its a lovely wee truck you have bought.

I have recendly collected a towin pin from John Moter...he might have some more in stock and he also might have some dash parts you are looking for..

Cheers,

Louis

Are there any photo's to show for..??

Hi Bill,

Dont forget to forward your Engine number toooo...:cool2:

Cheers,

Louis

Hello Bill,

 

You got your o type :drive:.

 

It's got early engine side panels, whats the chassis number? Has it got the early gauges?

 

Johm

Hi Bill,

Thats a lovely truck to own and not for to much money too...

Hope you get on with her..

Have you tried John Morter for parts already....

Cheers,

Louis

Hi John,

You are welcome.

The bonnet blanket is a nice item to have....

On the canvas it says in Dutch...."Welcome Eindhoven"....

Whats written under the canvas is hardly not to read for me.....when i zoom in it al fade away...

Cheers,

Louis

Seems it have been only MW who have libarated Eindhoven in 1944 now...

Cheers,

Louis

Here's another MW Libarating Eindhoven in 1944....

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply.

Saw this on the internet today its in Eindhoven in 1944...

Cheers,

Louis

Hya,

Are there any photo's of these MWV's from the rear..??

Wondering if these MWV's had a towing hook and if so how did it look...

Was the chassis longer or didnt the body need any support for the last few inches..??

Cheers,

Louis

This is the elusive MWV GS van, isn't it?

Note the fixed body sides and permanently fitted canvas. Also note the body is slightly longer at the rear.
