44GPW Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hi guys, Would an attempt to find out some of the wartime and/or post WW2 history of my Bedford MWD be fruitless without a post war census number?? I have the chassis number but nothing else until 1991 when it first appeared on the DVLA register. Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Richard Richard, Without a postwar army number, there is little chance of finding the entry on the Key Cards at Deepcut museum. I went through all this when Beverley held the records, as my Bedford was transfered to Denmark before the re-numbering process. The staff were very good there and were able to find about eight chassis numbers around mine, so that I could get a close proximation of the wartime census number. It is within 100. What makes it difficult is that unlike some other vehicles, Bedford chassis numbers did not run in order with census numbers, possibly due to them not being delivered to vehicle depots in order, from the factory.
