Dental lorries

The RAF seemed to use WOT1 trucks for dental surgeries. Here's a photo from the IWM (2 TAF in Normandy). I have seen one or two others buy can't find them right now, also there was an article in "Britain at War" magazine which I may be able to find later.

re RAF from mid WW2 a "Mobile Dental Surgery" was a 2 vehicle unit.
The first being a mobile dental surgery the second being a mobile dental laboratory. They were originallly on fordson WOT1 chassis and had very similar bodywork, later the WOT1/1a chassis was used and both the surgery and lab were of increased height. An example of a restored WOT1/1a surgery is on display at the RAF Museum Cosford.

Here's the other one I was looking for - IWM again dated May 1945

A Mobile Dental Section deployed on an airfield in north-west Europe. On the left is the converted tender which houses the dental laboratory, the dental surgery tender is at centre, and the tent housing the office and stores on the right
