Cliff,

I know that QLR well, having accompanied its previous owner who restored it, to Holland on the Corridor Tour in 1994.

Hello Richard, I'm afraid i won't be at W&P (Missed it for ANOTHER year!

), but i will be at Upminster and Detling, will you be going to either of those?

Hi Colin,

Sorry, I am not doing the other two shows. Send me a PM on any specifics you would like to know.

IF you could find them lined up like this these days you could take your pick, I am sure this is Luton factory with a batch awaiting delivery

Thank you for posting up some front shots of the trucks. They certainly look like they were built to do business. Did they normally have just one headlight or has one been taken off - as the bracket is still there?

Kind Regards
Lionel

What is it that is mounted forward of the r/h windscreen on the lead vehicle? Some type of signage folded down maybe?

Hi Dave,

That is a shelf in front of drivers screen, it was painted with gas detection paint.

And Lionel, British MV's built during the war were only fitted with one headlamp.
