Bedford RL mine cab bowser

Recommended Posts

Can anybody provide more pics of this mine cabbed RL water bowser? It was used as fire vehicle by UN forces in Cyprus. I need more and if possible cleared pics, as I would like to build a model and I've only been able to find these two, which are what got me started in the first place.:-D

The vehicle is no longer in Cyprus and I've been told that it has returned to the UK and has been restored.

 

Thanks in Advance

I was in 7 Sqn RCT and was out in Cprus Jan to July 92. This was out there then and also a couple of knockers and J Type Bedfords! Ive seen a few more pics of the Fire Truck on Facebook..cant remember which groups so will take a bit of searching.

We also had a VW bay window camper type vehicle that was the UN Hearse..good for shopping trips in Nicosia!

 

Heres a pic.

On the subject of Cyprus bowsers, does anyone have any pictures of the one used at Episkopi that was mounted on Bedford MK? There is (or was) a front three quarter shot of it somewhere on the six appeal wheel website which is useful, but I'm looking for a rear shot so that I can make a model of it.
