Hanno, I don't know for sure if they had Bedford MW's in service. Some pictures show 15cwt GS trucks from the rear and make if hard to determine if they are Fordsons, Bedfords or even Morris Commercial. Just like you I thought they had Fordson WOT2's (and a WOT3 which is shown on one of the pictures in the national archive). But, they did have Beford QL's as well, so logistically wise, it wouldn't be too strange to have some Bedford MW's on strength. Below is picture from the National Archives, which shows a 15cwt, supposedly from the Irene Brigade......Can anyone ID the truck....maybe the rear axle?
