I bought 2 Bedford QLB tractors from the old steam driven sawmill at Leyburn about 20 years ago. One was complete with the basic artillery body , the other was cab chassis. Never got around to doing anything with them and Ken Smith in Dalby got them.
The owner said he bought them very early "or maybe while the war was on" as he had priority as a timber producer.
The reason they were in such good condition, unlike most sawmill vehicles, was his opinion they were not anywhere near as good as the Blitz for tough work. As a result they were just reserves for his dozen or so CMP's. I got the impression they just occasionally used the winches for rolling logs in the yard.
