Description

Bedford introduced the RL truck in the 1950s and it continued in production until the early 1970s. Like many Bedford vehicles, it served its time primarily as the British militaryÂ’s main medium weight lorry of the period.  It was based on the civilian Bedford S truck and was used in a non-military capacity too. With a split windscreen and the signature Bedford radiator grille, the truck had all-wheel drive and bigger wheels for optimum ground clearance. Originally a 3-tonner, it was increased to 4 tons to facilitate its cross country payload requirements.  During its lifetime, over 74,000 rolled off the production line and many of these survived in civilian use well into the 1990s, being used by the emergency services, commercial operators and even, as we see here, as a Bomb Disposal School vehicle.
