Colin,

If you are at Beltring, come over and see me. My QLD will be there. They are pretty straight forward, nothing really unusual or troublesome, providing they are serviced regularly.

regards, Richard

G'day Richard,

Do you have a link to some photos of your Bedford QLD anywhere on this site - if not could you please put them up on this thread please?

I read it as Bedford Queensland as QLD is the abbreviation for the state in Australia that I live.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Hi David,

Looking forward to catching up with you again.

The photos............that is me loading the lorry, but it is not a Bedford QL, but a Ford copy, the WOT6. Colin, this Ford will be with my QLD at the show, so you should find me.

QLD......not Queensland .......Q was a military designation for 4 wheel drive lorries. L is Bedford code for long wheelbase and D is their code for cargo body.

Thank you David for posting some photos up. Do you have any taken showing the front of the truck - yes some people are hard to please aren't they! In Queensland any vehicle number plate starting with a "Q" means it is a Q-car or a state government vehicle.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Sorry Lionel, I don't have a picture from the front but will make sure that I take one when I see it again.
With Richard's truck and the Fraud parked next to each other I may even learn to tell the difference.
