Default How?

My father was in the RAMC in Palestine in 1947-8, and said that when they moved to Egypt the "natives" seized whatever British vehicles they could...it seems that the Brits ensured their Bedford QLs went with them. I have seen a film of the road building to Jerusalem that had # 13 Cab CMPs employed by the Israelis so they must have acquired a large number!
