Bedford QLB Question

Tims QLB is seen in the editorial pages in the front where Bart often commented on finds from readers around the globe. Don't know where that QLB ended up, Tim would know who he sold it to. The Bofors crew body was stored in a barn , the farmer removed it and fitted a tray.

Tim ran a fancy ' wanted to buy ' advert in the Weekly Times rural newspaper with a pic of a QL in the ad, would have been around 1980

Is it possible these Bedford trucks apart from the couple that might have gone to New Guinea did nothing, sat in a vehicle park but still didn't manage to appear in any photos.
Like I said in post #1 even the Matadors got a photo in the Australian Army AWM photo album and I see that the 4 Hathi's got their picture taken.

Anything is possible Ken.

In the AWM registers there are a number of 15cwt Bedford MWC tankers listed, but when it comes to photos of them in Australian service , well, I've never seen any except for a brief film clip of one in the Port Moresby area with a searchlight unit.

Wheels and tracks number 9 pg 5 has a short write up on the QLB Tim found.
I brought a box of military books and magazines at clearing sale weekend before last included in box was that edition of W&Ts.
Funny how that happens.
