Super-powered RL!!!
This was either an attempt to speed up the Bedford workhorse with extra power or the 55-mile range Blue Water missile, that was duly cancelled. |

Speed up?
With a four speed box and the governor set to 29mph in third gear, I dont think so! the only thing going for it is the aero-dynamics of the cargo. The RL will never be more than a "rolls can ardly", because if you up power the things, you've got serious problems trying to stop 'em.-----Nice pic even if seems that the truck and the rocket come from two different technological ages.
How many mechanics have been injured standing up from a front hub,and hitting their head on the bottom corner of an RL door?

Or recipe for a barbecued
Looks like a good way to put a Bedford on the Barbie. Couple of oil leaks a little petrol leak and poof. I hope that the launch cable is longer than pictured.
