The Bedford QLD was a British truck used by the RAF during World War II. It was produced between 1941 and 1945 and was designed to carry cargo, personnel and armament. The car was powered by a four-cylinder 72 hp engine and had a load capacity of up to 3 tons. It had a rigid body frame and rear-wheel drive. It was armed with one Bren machine gun and could carry additional gunners. It was used not only by the RAF but also by the British Army and Allied forces. The Bedford QLD was deployed in many wartime operations, such as during the Battle of Normandy, the Battle of Arnhem and the Battle of the Gazala. After the war, the truck was also used in the civilian sector, for example as a fire fighting vehicle or as a truck for transporting agricultural produce.
