Seller's Description
CORGI CC60303 1/50 BEDFORD QLD SUPPLY TRUCK 7TH ARMOURED DIVISION THE DESERT RATS LIBYA 1942 - IN STOCK
The movement of fuel, artillery, ammunition, supplies and personnel became a pivotal role in the successes and failures of the North African campaign. Chiefly the restrictions of supply lines on the Germans and the excellent work of the Allied troops to keep theirs open was a major influence on the eventual Allied victory. Amongst the array of transporters and carriers available the Bedford QL and its variants worked particularly well in the desert and several versions were made specifically for this arena. The Bedford Model QL truck was a product of General Motors' British Vauxhall Motors Ltd of Luton, England. It was designed in 1939-40 to meet a War Office specification for a 3-ton 4x4 truck chassis that would form the basis for a variety of vehicle types. From 1941-1945 a grand total of 52,245 were produced, making it the most numerous 3-tonner of the British Armed forces and used on virtually all fronts. An excellent vehicle, it had on shortcoming which was a lack of power under arduous conditions due to the use of the standard Bedford 3.5 litre engine rather than a preferred larger version. The benefits came through the 4x4 transmission that enabled driving on both good surfaced roads and sand or mud. The QLD was a GS Cargo version and was the most common variant of all the QLs. It saw use on all fronts, including North Africa where it saw plenty of action in Libya and the Western Desert. The legend of the Desert Rats (7th Armoured Division) began with the destruction of the Italian 10th Army in 1940. When Rommel arrived in Libya with his Afrikakorps, the ebb and flow and desert warfare pitted the two great forces against each other. As part of the 8th Army under Montgomery, the Desert Rats played a key role in the crucial battle at El Alamein, which forced the Afrikakorps into retreat.

The Bedford QL series was a range of 3-ton 4x4 trucks produced between 1941 and 1945 for use by the British Armed Forces in WWII.
