Lorry, 3-ton, Anti-Tank Portee

[Alex van de Wetering]

The lifting slings were typical of 1944-45 production - that's strange, as these Portees were supposed to be built for the war in North Africa. Hmmm.... CMPs - never a dull moment, eh?

Exactly! What about colours of the one in Leiden.....just speculating, door in SCC15, body SCC2, front hub and rear wheel Light Stone? That factory pic in your last post also shows a nice mix of production colours!

Attached are some more late-war ex-portee pictures.....all Bedford QL's; at least 2 different ones, possibly 3. Pictures also show other interesting vehicles, including a Dodge D15 Water tanker and Ford WOA2

And today's quandary is, how did this one end up with the RAF?

Here is another ex-portee in service with the Forestry corps.

Bedford QL? or Austin K5?
