Kuno Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 ...just found these sad remnant of a Bedford Q these days in the farmlands wet of Tripolis. Was surprised that the frame of the doors is made of wood - was this a stable structure then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Those remains are well spread out, Kuno. The vultures must have overdone it judging by the amount they've left! And yes, timber cab frames are good at flexing, as long as water and termites are kept out they are good for a long service life.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papav66 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Trouble is if you take a hit in a wooden cab the splinters don't show up on the x-rays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuno Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 I shot this pic about 10 years ago near az-Zawia. Unfortunately I cannot remember where it exactly was. Most probably the truck is long gone now :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probaly more stable than some of the compressed cardboard ones the Germans had late war :shocked: Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
