G-MANN ◊ 2006-06-17 18:32	The British Army has been using these old-fashioned Bedford 4-ton trucks for years, it's like the British equivalent of the U.S. Army's AM General M-35. They still use them today, although Bedford doesn't exist anymore so they can't buy new ones, I guess they just keep them well maintained. -- Last edit: 2006-06-17 18:42:27
Sunbar ◊ 2006-06-17 18:58	I'm not sure if the UK Army still has these in service but I believe Marshalls of Cambridge undertook the spares and replacement business. This was after a company called 'AWD' buying the remains of the Bedford business from GM in 1986. 'AWD' then failed to win the army contract for new business and folded.
