Thanks Ilian, yet another picture, I have never seen of the F15 AA, I'll check the census No to see if it one of the official pictures from the Imperial War Museum.
What is a bit odd, is that all of the pictures I have of the AA mount, all seem to be on F 15 vehicles, so, does this mean that the C15 and the 15 cwt Bedford mounts, were all out defending the empire ?, rather than posing for pictures ?

Seriously a great picture, which actually helps me in the reconstruction of my C15 AA

Best regards
Keith

Perhaps they simply wanted the extra horsepower and reliability of the mighty Ford powertrain.

The KL Welding lorries were also only on Ford vehicles, and for good reason...they were heavy.

Without getting into the endless (and pointless) Ford/Chevrolet debate, I suggest that the KL welders were built on Ford Chassis to have a common engine for the chassis and welder.
