Pember Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I would be most grateful if anyone can let me know if they recognise the attached vehicle sign. It appears - to me - to be a goat on skis, perhaps with something just above (a pennant, piece of material, shape of country, or...?). The sign was on the front of a British Army truck. Any information about the type of truck would also be of interest. Any insights or ideas welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 An aberration of the Queens Royal West Surrey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtskull Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 OK, let me throw this into the mix, shoot me down if you will: The “skis” that the “goat” appears to be standing on, with closer inspection, look more like this Bedford badge. I am sure somebody will put me right but that doesn’t look like a Bedford lorry to me, so maybe it is there for another reason? Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire Regiment, maybe? Consider also the “goat”. Perhaps not a goat, but instead a crudely executed version of the animal from the B&H cap badge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Or a Christmas Reindeer ? The truck is a Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) Ford with what is called a Number 13 cab (the final style). Probably a 3 ton F60L. The British army had them in considerable numbers. David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Not a goat on the badge, it is a hart, a male deer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B series Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The truck is as David Hurbert stated, CMP with No 13 cab. Bridge plate looks to have either a 3 or 7 diplayed. I think the vehicle has had a Bedford badge attached to the front grille, and a Christmas decoration reindeer has been tucked in behind it, you can see a bit of reindeer hoof/foot just below the Bedford badge. I expect it is a teddy bear above the reindeer. Someone somewhere trying to add a bit of Christmas cheer. B series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67burwood Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 If you really zoom in It looks like the same shape/emblem crossed, then again it is Friday night and it will probably look different a bit later🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I would say it is a Ford, going by the radiator grille. As the bridge plate appears to be 7 and the other two lorries next have high canopies, it can be assumed that it is a 3 ton F60L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
