Another Bedford MW in Dutch service. From the material available, I deduct this Bedford with the sign "Radio Omroep Herrijzend Nederland" was probably the vehicle used by a certain Mr. Robert Kiek, a special reporter who joined the Irene Brigade. His reports were first broadcasted via emergency radio sets of Radio Brussel. Once the Southern part of the Netherlands was liberated a radio set built by Philips at Eindhoven was used. Broadcasting there started on 3 October 1944 and lasted until January 1946.
