Utrecht Bedford Portee.jpg

John Rippingham is looking for this picture, but I cannot find it when I search for "bevrijding Utrecht" in the BeeldbankWO2.

I did find some other photos of it - I think it is the same truck with it's field modified cab:

That is quite the rig, which is not surprising, as it is the Cooks vehicle.

Will see if I can find it Hanno. I might have made a mistake with the source!


EDIT:
I think the picture originated from the Utrechts Archief, and shared on BeeldbankWO2. However, it does indeed seem to have been removed from Beeldbankwo2.....but it's still online on the Utrechtsarchief website.

So....for Rippo:

Exellent, Alex! Thanks for sharing this. Some of the archives seem to take down some content, or minimise the resolution, while others are enlarging their scope and quality of content.
