Stuart,
That photo is a photo of one of three Instrument Vans parked at Nui Dat, Vietnam. The three vans were used by 106 Fd. Workshops to provide clean, airconditioned work rooms for the repair of instruments, radios etc. 709 Signals Troup also used them in 1965 for base communication setups with the Australian made E514 transmitter. It would be good to see one back up on a Mk3. Inter nowdays. It would make a great camper. Regards Rick.

Hi Stuart / Rick
Thanks for the updates, yep the photo looks just like the inside of the old van I saw, it was even still painted White on the inside. I gree with the earlier comments, could have made a good camper. Litle Jo

Still in the paddock
Hi Ryan
The body is still sitting in the paddock. I saw it a few weeks ago and it is a shame it is deteriorating after all those years in the paddock. Cheers Tony

These bodies appear identical to those built for the British army in 1950's. They were fitted to the Bedford RL FV13110, the body was designed to suit all foreseeable War Office Signals and REME machinery installation requirements at that time. Body builder was Marshalls of Cambridge. It is possible that these used in Australia were built locally to the FVRDE design.
regards, Richard
