  • Bedford RL
rdfs:comment
  • Many specialist variants were also built including recovery vehicles, mobile workshops, radio vans and cable layers. The Green Goddess fire engine was also based on the RL. The RL and variants continued to serve alongside the later Bedford MK and Bedford TM trucks until well into the 1990s. The Home Office also purchased a large number of these vehicles, kept in reserve for any national emergency. All have now been disposed, many having less than 2,000 miles on the clock.
  • The Bedford RL was the British military's main medium lorry (truck), built by Bedford Vehicles, from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s. They superseded the Bedford OY.
