This fictional image is loosely based on a surviving but unrestored Bedford QL. The QL was like no other Bedford before it; not only was it four-wheel drive, but it was of forward-control layout with a noticeably high build. Over 12,000 were built for military service between 1941 and 1944 and many enjoyed long post-war careers as breakdown trucks, lumber tractors and circus vehicles. Most remarkably, several were rebuilt and bodied as Maltese route buses. Fortunately at least two QL trucks remain on the Maltese Island. - a fuel bowser and the locally-bodied dropside truck on which this image is based (04-Aug-14).
