Default Question for the X-spurts....

Is it typical to see a cab 12 still in service in Spring 1943 in the UK....

....or is it because of it's specialized role as a wireless truck...?

Curious!!!!

The kiwi troops probably thought, that was as good as it could get, at the time.

The same unit were still using these trucks in 1945 in Holland... along with the AEC "Dorchester" and the larger 6 wheeler Armoured Command Vehicle (dont recall the name).
