A long-shot here… But my dad, now 87, used to drive one of these, as an RAF reservist at Biggin Hill Aerodrome. There is a Polish company which make models, but it would be beyond him and me to build the model. Anyone on here know if I could buy one “made-up”?
There are a few model companies that make kits of this type of Bedford QL but I don’t think there are any built up models such as Dinky diecast or similar. Your best bet would be to find a modeller who could build you one but bear in mind it would cost as a commission build unless someone could do it for free. Try a Military Modelling site they could advise. Franky.
Followed this on the A38 today through Birmingham took the photo whilst stationary at Spaghetti Junction not a rope or ratchet insight [emoji6]

Well in the 50/60s I used to reload from Beardmores in Glasgow with the very same shafts to Doxfords and Parsons in Newcastle, The main contractor at that time was P & S Contracts Ltd, They rang some of the first big Macks Ide ever seen in those good old days, Larry.
