ted angus Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Gents I am looking for photographs of the attached, I believe it was shown at the 1958 Chertsey show as FV 13218, It was mentioned in a fairly recent Classic Military Vehicle mag in a letter in reply to an article on the Commer Q4 variants. The letter stated it bore the MoS reg number of RGX 133 but having found this picture in my files I know it is actually RGX 139. Any help would be gratefully recieved . I am also looking for pictures of a handful of the Commer Q4 with workshop bodies that were reregistered to the RAF. Thank You Regards TED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ted angus Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 JUST looked it up it appears in the 1956 CHERTSEY BOOK EXHIBIT 51 PAGES 144 /145 but you may already know this Hi Wally , the only reference I have is in Pat Ware's book on FVRE types he quotes 1958 -?? his typo no doubt ?? - and the picture I posted; anything else very gratefully received; I am building a model, I know the underbody layout is different from the later Bedford RL - thant can be seen from the pic I posted, but the dimension from behind the cab to the rear axle is shorter on the Commer so the near side body will be different as well- at the moment I am assuming the nearside is the same as the Bedford but with one less stowage comp ; Here is where I am so far but changes can still be made ??
