I remember seeing this picture in a booklet years ago....and have been trying to find out which booklet it was, ever since....

Anyway, my interest was the picture....and I finally found on the web..the picture is taken on an old section of the Deelen site, which is now part of "National parc the Hoge Veluwe" and shows some rusty metal. Unfortuntaley, the picture is rather small....but the reason it caught my eye is that it looks a lot like the inside of a cab13 front clip/footwell...what do you guys think???

Yes I’ve seen the Canadian Army News Reel film footage before. Some great shots. Wish there was more.

Surprisingly few photos can be found in online photo archives. But here are some more to tide you over.

Spare tyres, all used and reclaimed from wrecked vehicles:

Everything had to be guarded and kept behind an electrified fence, still a lot of spares were stolen as there was such a high need for them in a country which had been pilfered:

Bedford OYD in postwar civilian use in the Netherlands.

Who can tell what the markings on the bonnet mean? Could they be markings applied in the dump to register and categorise trucks?

“N-66684” painted on the bumper is the Dutch licence number.
