Thanks Mike, would like to see some copies of it, but it seem you no longer have it?

Richard Moys mentioned that Contract V5062 was for 1200 Bedford MWD's, 42 of which were to be converted to “Radio Link” vehicles (contract let on 6th March 1942). He knows of 84 "Radio Link" vehicles mentioned in two contracts, these were converted by Thos. Harrington. Other "MWR" contracts refer to MWR and converted to W/T, these conversions were carried out by two totally different companies. It may be the "Radio Link" vehicles are the same as MWRs.

But maybe the "Radio Link" vehicles were fitted with those Collin radio sets?
