Wikipedia says: "The Museum of Army Transport was a museum of British Army vehicles in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It was commercially unsuccessful, going into administration, closed in summer 2003." Its collections are said to have been transferred to the National Army Museum.

 

I stumbled about two photos in the net, where a truck disguised to be an LRDG truck w2as called a Chevrolet WB 30cwt...

 

Now. The early Chevrolets used by the LRDG were not WB but WA. And the truck shown on the pivtures is obviously a Dodge but not a Chevrolet (and also the sand channels are not of the type used in the Desert War).

 

However, I recall the movie "Sea of Sand" where - probably due to lack of Chevrolets- they have used exactly such Dodge trucks as the LRDGs patrol vehicles.

 

Could it be that this truck remains from the movie (although the desert scenes were filmed in Libya)?

And - is that truck still on display in UK?

 

Here the photos:

 

 

 

just to let you guys know ,that this truck resides in sunny devon in a friends garage ;)
