Flat front Bedford in 1961!

This was taken at a Lorry Driver of the Year in 1961 in Portsmouth..amazing that they still had this OX? OY? as late as '61! I have another shot of a similar truck back in 1958ish, probably in Pompey as well? They also had a RN RL at the same compo:

David,

First pic is a 3 ton OY. The OY was still on the inventory list for 1969. I remember rebuilding OY engines in mid Seventies at army workshops. There was still the odd QL around then as well.
