That's right Alex. Thanks again.
Pictures of these are few and far between, there are the factory pictures that I guess we've all seen. Here are the ones that I've collected so far.
The first one is captioned South African troops in North Africa and one PU8/4 in the line up. Ron

And this picture came as a surprise when I was on one of my regular visits to well known UK MV enthusiast Pip Biddlecombe (Ower in Hants). His old dad was there in his yard that day, and when I mentioned my PU8/4 he said "We used to drive those bloody things in Egypt" I thought, usual thing! It was probably some other make/model. But the next time I called in, true to his word, he had left a photo with Pip for me. Pip's dad is the smaller guy on the right. Ron

Hi Ron,
I know Pip well, and can see the resemblance!

Absolutely Richard. More so when you see him in his younger days. Ron
